US-based real estate investment trust SL Green Realty along with its joint venture partners has secured a $1.25bn construction loan for the redevelopment of One Madison Avenue in New York, US.
The financial closure will allow the construction to begin on the project, which will anchor the Midtown South office market as its premier tower.
In May this year, SL Green Realty formed a joint venture partnership with National Pension Service of Korea (NPS) and Hines Interest for One Madison Avenue redevelopment.
Wells Fargo, TD Bank, Goldman Sachs, Bank of America, Deutsche Bank and Axos Bank are among the lenders of the construction loan.
Located next to Madison Square Park between Park and Madison Avenues and East 23rd and East 24th Streets, One Madison Avenue will be redeveloped into a 1.4 million ft2 project.
The project includes the construction of a new 530,000ft2 tower with column-free floors above an existing and redeveloped nine-floor podium.
