MF1 Capital Provides $24M Takeout Construction Loan on Brooklyn Apartments

Northlink Capital just added a refinance to its September bingo card. 

The firm has secured $24 million of takeout construction financing for a newly completed multifamily property at a former bingo hall in Brooklyn’s Midwood neighborhood, Commercial Observer has learned.

MF1 Capital supplied the loan on Northlink’s 53-unit development at 2339 Nostrand Avenue. 

Meridian Capital Group arranged the transaction with a team led by Morris Betesh and Alex Bailkin.

Located where the Nostrand Bingo Hall once stood four blocks from the Flatbush Avenue train station, the seven-story building features a mix of market-rate and affordable apartments and 30 parking spaces. Property amenities include a rooftop terrace, coworking space, a fitness center and bike storage.

“It’s a transformative addition to the Midwood neighborhood, coming on the heels of their development of the Vitagraph, a 300-unit building also in Midwood,” Betesh said in a statement. “The unwavering commitment of both the sponsor and lender to recognize the potential of this project was pivotal in achieving a smooth and successful closing.”

Officials at MF1 Capital and Northlink did not immediately return requests for comment.
