Canyon Capital Realty Advisors Provides $120-Million Construction Loan for
Residential Development in Gowanus
Multifamily Property Expands Brooklyn Footprint for Real Estate Investment Firm
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA (October 31, 2014) – Canyon Capital Realty Advisors LLC
(Canyon Realty), a real estate investment firm, has provided a $120-million senior
construction loan to LSG 365 Bond Street LLC, an affiliate of The Lightstone Group for the
ground-up development of a 12-story luxury residential rental community in Gowanus, one
of Brooklyn’s most dynamic and diverse neighborhoods. Meridian Capital Group, a New York
City based commercial mortgage broker, advised The Lightstone Group on the transaction.
The proceeds of Canyon’s construction loan will be used to develop a contextual multifamily
property that will include 429 residential units at 365 Bond Street, including 86 units of
affordable housing. The project will also include a public esplanade along the Gowanus
Canal, which will provide the community with a lighted walk-way, public outdoor space, and
access to the canal.
“Canyon has a long history of investing in Brooklyn and its emerging neighborhoods, and we
have been tracking the Gowanus neighborhood for some time now. We are pleased to have
the opportunity to finance this transformational project, which will add several hundred
mixed-income high-quality housing units to the neighborhood,” said Charlie Rose, Director
at Canyon Realty. Gowanus has recently experienced a notable revitalization and is now
home to a variety of restaurant, retail and arts amenities, and we are excited to be a part of
the area’s evolution.”
In fact, Canyon has been an active investor in New York City and other Brooklyn
neighborhoods for over two decades. Notable previous investments by Canyon in Brooklyn
include the following:
• One Hanson Place (the former Williamsburg Savings Bank Tower), which Canyon
redeveloped into a 217-unit residential project in Downtown Brooklyn;
• The Viridian, a 130-unit multifamily rental project in Greenpoint;
• The Isabella, a 63-unit residential project located in Clinton Hill; and
• 20 Henry, a 39-unit historical rehabilitation and residential project, which Canyon
developed in Brooklyn Heights.
Coming on the heels of its successful development of Gantry Park in Long Island City, The
Lightstone Group is expanding its New York City footprint to include Brooklyn. “The
Lightstone Group is committed to the Gowanus neighborhood and its current and future
residents, and we are thrilled to have had the opportunity to work with Canyon Realty to
bring this project to fruition, said Mitchell Hochberg, President of The Lightstone Group.
Canyon Realty was the ideal lender to provide the non-recourse financing for this
construction loan. The Canyon team’s deep understanding of the local market and ability to
quickly execute this large, complex transaction was essential to us.”
