NEW YORK CITY—Brooklyn-based RedSky Capital and UK-listed investment fund JZ Capital took out a $221.8 million, three-year, interest-only bridge loan from JP Morgan to finance their Brooklyn retail portfolio.

Four of the properties on North 6th Street are being added to the portfolio through acquisition as a result of the financing. Three of the properties on that street are fully leased. The tenants are Urban Outfitters, Vans, Everlane and Aland. The remaining properties are in the process of being renovated and leased.
The assets in the portfolio are located at the following addresses: 92-94 N. 6th St., 96-98 N. 6th Street, 100-104 N. 6th St., 108-112 N. 6th S.,124-136 N. 6th St., 132 Bedford Ave., 184-192 Bedford Ave. and 204-206 Bedford Ave.
