NEW YORK CITY-It has been a busy month for the real estate group at Manhattan-based law firm Morrison & Foerster. In the last four weeks, the firm has closed $1.6 billion worth of deals, including a New York 80/20 bond-backed multifamily construction loan, a mortgage loan for a Washington DC office portfolio and an unsecured line of credit for a major public homebuilder.

The firm represented Wells Fargo in the closing of a $188 million construction loan for the financing of an apartment complex under development by the Related Cos. and the Kalimian Family near the Hudson Yards development site. The 32-story tower will include 385 rental apartments, retail space and a parking garage situated at 30^th Street and 10^th Avenue.

The financing for the Far West Side tower consists of proceeds of bonds that are part of the New York State Housing Finance Agency’s 80/20 program. The bonds, which are enhanced with a letter of credit issued by Wells Fargo, are backed 50% by JPMorgan Chase. MoFo’s Mark Edelstein and John McCarthy led the transaction.
