NEW YORK, March 14, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bravo Property Trust, in partnership with Integritas Capital, closed a $125M million senior construction loan in Dumbo for an office-to-residential conversion. Bravo Property Trust, a construction and bridge lending affiliate of Bravo Capital, originated and led the senior loan alongside Man Group.

"We are proud to finance best-in-class locations like Dumbo, and sponsors who have a decades long track record of consistent success,” Aaron Krawitz, CEO of Bravo Capital and Bravo Property Trust, said in a statement.

The property is an existing 8-story gut renovated office building that will be converted into multifamily rentals under the new 467m tax abatement program, with a new 11-story vertical condo development on top. The multifamily and condo portions will each have their own class-A amenity space including tenant lounges, outdoor space, and a fitness center. All units overlook the Brooklyn Bridge. Located on the border of Dumbo and Downtown Brooklyn, the subject is proximate to the F, A, and C subway lines offering direct access to Manhattan.

"Our platform is designed to deliver smart, strategic financing that drives transformative projects like this one. The Dumbo conversion is a prime example of revitalizing a top-tier location while creating high-quality housing in a market with strong demand,” Gabi Moshayev, Founder & Chairman of Bravo Property Trust, said.

New York City's new 467m tax abatement program will provide the multifamily portion of the property with a tax abatement for 35 years in exchange for reserving 25% of units for low-income tenants. The abatement provides a 65% exemption for the first 30 years and drops 10% per year starting in year 31.

"At Integritas, we are among the few nationally to have converted office and other commercial buildings to residential in multiple cities under our equity strategy. This expertise supported our ability to close this large and complex loan quickly,” Stephen Palmese, Co-Founder and Managing Principal of Integritas Capital, said.

The completed project will be a landmark 19-story residential tower.
