Progress Capital secures $17,250,000 acquisition loan for Journal Square mixed-use building

JERSEY CITY, NJ — Progress Capital’s Partner, Brad Domenico secured a $17,250,000 acquisition loan for Spring Property Management of Ohio to purchase the mixed-use building located at 125-129 Magnolia Ave., Jersey City. The sale of the property was arranged by Niko Nicolaou, executive VP at Gebroe Hammer Associates.

“The loan was originally approved as a Fannie Mae execution through Eric Regenbogen of Arbor Realty Trust. As the Treasury market started to experience volatility, Arbor was able to transition the loan into their Private Label CMBS program, which provided the borrower a better rate plus full term I/O. This was all done seamlessly with no adverse effect on either the proceeds or the closing timeline,” said Domenico.

The site contains a five-story 1920’s era building known as 125 Magnolia at Journal Square. The mixed-use building contains a total of 99 units comprised of five ground-floor retail units and 94 residential apartment units. Each of the units have recently undergone high end kitchen and bathroom renovations, as well as the installation of new windows. Some additional building improvements completed include a new roof, upgraded lobby and new contemporary elevator system.

The property is situated on the corner of Summit and Magnolia avenues in the heart of the Journal Square section and is within one block of the Journal Square PATH Station. Nearby recreational facilities include 5 parks within 4.4 miles, including Liberty Science Center, Liberty Landing Marina, and Ellis Island National Monument.
