Jewel Capital secured $3,450,000 in refinancing for a mixed-use building in Queens, New York. The permanent loan, provided by a commercial bank, has a 5-year term with an optional renew of 5 years. This loan features a competitive interest rate of 4.5% and is used to pay off the existing loan.

With a profound understanding of our client’s financial conditions, financing needs and the Property, we worked closely with our client during the entire process. We professionally analyzed and compared the several term sheets that we obtained, and provided effective solutions to issues with the Property. One challenge we faced is that two office tenants are non-profit religious institutions, this brought difficulty searching for a suitable lender. By leveraging our relationship and negotiation skills, we strategically approached the most suitable lender to achieve optimal terms, and met the client’s high expectation for this loan.
