A Long Island City residential project is underway thanks to a $51 million construction loan provided by Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce.
The Lightstone Group and its sponsored, non-traded REIT Lightstone Value Plus are constructing the 199-unit multifamily property at 50-01 2nd Street along the East River in Long Island City. Financing from CIBC closed September 28, 2012.
50-01 2nd Street.
Expected to be completed by April 2014, the development will be 12-stories. It will include a fitness center, 24-hour doorman services, a yoga studio and other high-end amenities.
“We are excited to be moving forward with this project and have CIBC as our partner,” said David Lichtenstein, the Lightstone Group’s chairman and CEO. “This transaction shows the confidence CIBC has in the Lightstone Group and the commitment that we at Lightstone have to development in New York City, as 50-01 2nd Street is one of several projects we have underway here.”
Some of those other projects include 700 residential units at 363-365 Bond Street and 400 Carroll Street in the Carroll Gardens neighborhood of Brooklyn and the redevelopment of a 1-million-square-foot retail space that Lightstone purchased at 2505 Bruckner Boulevard in the Bronx.
The base of the 50-01 2nd Street building will include approximately 12,000 square feet of retail, which is currently being marketed by Winick Realty Group. Hal Shapiro, one of the Winick agents on the space, told The Mortgage Observer that interested tenants have included food uses and childcare operators.

Not to hijack this thread, but I’d like to find out if I’m eligible for a short sale and I have no idea how to find a professional listing realtor… do you know anything about this realtor? They’re listed in the city of Fair Oaks, CA 20 min from my son’s school and I can’t find reviews on them – Becky Lund & Associates, 8814 Madison Ave Fair Oaks, CA 95628 (916) 531-7124.
I precisely needed to thank you so much once more. I’m not certain the things I would have taken care of in the absence of those ideas discussed by you regarding such subject. This has been a frustrating condition in my circumstances, however , looking at the professional fashion you managed that made me to leap with joy. Now i am grateful for your help and thus have high hopes you realize what an amazing job that you’re undertaking teaching other individuals through the use of your blog. Probably you haven’t encountered all of us.
But also for that, just be prior agreements, and
enquire of close friends for suggestions. For example, New South Wales and Queensland have
imposed a 48%-APR maximum loan rate, including fees and brokerage.
