NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
SL Green Realty Corp. (NYSE:SLG) and Vornado Realty Trust (NYSE:VNO)
today announced that they have closed on the refinancing of 280 Park
Avenue, a premier 1,250,000 square foot Manhattan office building that
is held by the companies in a joint venture.
The new $900 million loan carries a 3-year term (subject to four 1-year
extension options) and a floating interest rate of LIBOR plus 2.00%
(currently 2.44%). The loan replaces the previous $721 million
indebtedness that carried an interest rate of approximately 6.35%.
The refinancing comes on the heels of the completion of a
transformational $150 million redesign and renovation of the building’s
façade and interior. Included in the renovations were the creation of an
expansive world-class lobby, an extensive program to enhance
environmental sustainability, a complete redesign of the building’s
adjacent plaza and building-wide infrastructure upgrades, including new
elevator cabs and bathrooms, new thin line perimeter induction units,
new electrical distribution and state-of-the-art security.
