Moin Development Lands $135M Loan for Park Avenue Hotel
Moin Development secured $135 million in financing from KeyBank Real Estate Capital and South Korea based Fidelis Asset Management for the Mondrian Park Avenue hotel.
NEW YORK CITY – Moin Development, a real estate development company under the Moinian Group, has secured $135 million in financing from KeyBank Real Estate Capital and South Korea based Fidelis Asset Management for the Mondrian Park Avenue hotel located at 444 Park Avenue South. JBA Equities arranged the financing.
Financing included the KeyBank senior mortgage of $110 million and the $25 million mezzanine loan from Fidelis. Proceeds were used to refinance the existing mortgage and fund reserves J.P. Morgan financed two years ago, Jonathan Aghravi, principal at JBA Equities, tells GlobeSt.com.
Moin converted what was once a 15-story office building into the 190-key, 20-story hotel, which opened in October 2017. Journal Hotels, a hospitality manager and operator, manages the hotel, while In Good Company manages the food and beverage component.
Located on East 30th Street and Park Avenue South in NoMad, the luxury hotel was recently voted one of the best 25 hotels in New York City by Conde Nast Traveler 2019 Readers’ Choice awards.
