NEW YORK CITY—The Moinian Group's 17 Battery Place North, located at 2 Washington St., received financing of $131.5 million from Square Mile Capital. The loan will pay for the developer's conversion of the Financial District 398,000 square-foot office building into a 345-unit residential property.

Next to Battery Park, the multifamily rental building will have more than nine floors of amenities including a rooftop pool and lounge, simulated sports lounge, music studio, chef's kitchen, poker lounge and co-working spaces. Designed by CetraRuddy, the development has a different twist: It will offer mostly studio and one-bedrooms to attract a millennial and Generation Z community of renters.
