Fitch downgrades CMBS deals backed by Stuy Town

October 30th, 2009    Posted in Manhattan Real Estate Brokers, Manhattan Real Estate News, Real Estate News, Real-Estate, apts
 
Fitch Ratings today downgraded three CMBS deals backed by Stuyvesant Town and Peter Cooper Village following the Court of Appeals ruling earlier this month that the owners illegally converted rent-stabilized apartments to market-rate units and must refund more than $200 million to current and former tenants. In a landmark 4-2 decision, the court upheld a lower court ruling that rent-stabilized tenants could not be forced to pay market rates in buildings receiving so-called J-51 tax incentives from the city. Tishman and its investment partner, BlackRock Realty, were dependent on that additional income to finance their massive $5.4 billion acquisition of Stuy Town and Peter Cooper Village in 2006. The property had already been in serious financial trouble due to the commercial credit crisis and national recession, and this ruling could deliver a major blow to the sponsors.

Africa Israel signs agreement to sell former NYT building, Israeli Web site says

October 30th, 2009    Posted in Manhattan Real Estate Brokers, Manhattan Real Estate News, Real Estate News, Real-Estate, apts
 
An Israeli business Web site, Globes, is reporting that Lev Leviev's Africa Israel Investments has signed an agreement to sell the former New York Times building at 229 West 43rd Street. The business site, citing sources, said an agreement for the sale had been signed and an official announcement would come within days. No sale price was given, but the sale would increase the shareholders' equity of Leviev's publicly-owned Israeli company by 1.5 billion shekels, or $427 million. Additionally, Leviev has reached an agreement with Africa Israel's bondholders to inject 750 million shekels, or $200 million, into the company. Despite the infusion of cash, his stake in the company will decline to 52 percent from 75 percent.

Wilbur Ross: Commercial crash on its way

October 30th, 2009    Posted in Manhattan Real Estate Brokers, Manhattan Real Estate News, Real Estate News, Real-Estate, apts
 
A massive U.S. commercial real estate crash is in its beginning stages, billionaire Wilbur Ross said today. The WL Ross & Co. CEO, who is also working on a government program to rid banks of their toxic assets, said he is practicing extreme caution on the commercial real estate investments front, especially with regard to office spaces, which are rapidly shedding tenants. Though the Public-Private Investment Program has made $1.5 billion in pooled government and private funds available to his company for purchasing banks' distressed assets, Ross said he had used less than $100 million of those funds by Oct. 15, and that the money he spent went toward residential mortgage-backed securities rather than commercial properties. Earlier this month, WL Ross, along with several other firms led by Starwood Capital Group and TPG, agreed to buy $4.5 billion in real estate from the seized Corus Bankshares, after the bank's investments in construction loans for condominiums went sour.

Upstart Brooklyn broker buys out Frank Manzione

October 30th, 2009    Posted in Manhattan Real Estate Brokers, Manhattan Real Estate News, Real Estate News, Real-Estate, apts
 
Four year-old Realty Collective, a Brooklyn brokerage, has purchased Frank P. Manzione Real Estate, the veteran Red Hook/Carroll Gardens firm. Realty Collective will take over Manzione's Columbia Street offices, though Manzione plans to stay on with his new colleague, 28-year-old founder Victoria Hagman, a former music industry booker who seeks out creative real estate agents who aren't "creepy" and promises to walk her clients' dogs. The merger tripled Realty Collective's listings. "It's like we bought the Yankees," agent Tina Fallon said of the move. [Brownstoner] and [Brooklyn Based]
