The initial loan helped buy time for the developers, who were still finalizing the pre-lease and project design processes. Senior directors Robert Delitsky and Evan Pariser arranged both loans for Utopia Properties through conduit lender GMAC Commercial Mortgage. The construction loan is a two-year deal.
The new shopping center, located at the corner of Union Turnpike and Utopia Parkway, will be anchored by Barnes & Noble, Citibank and Thriftway Drugs with St. John's University serving as the lead tenant for the office portion. Parking will be provided by Imperial Parking.
