Good article on a $5m transaction I am working on at 70 West 36th Street. I declined comment to the NY Observer, but I think in cases like this sale government assisted loans, like IDA loans, are a smart way to stimulate the economy.

See the story about our recent sale of an office condominium to Progressive Credit Union. While at the closing Robert Familant, Progressive’s CEO, discussed how he recalls sharing a 700 sq. ft. office in the Bronx with his father. Now they are the owner of a $7m piece of a midtown office building. Congrats Robert!
