Ernest DesRochers, senior vice president/managing director of NorthMarq Capital's New York metro based regional office secured value-add financing of $11.5 million for SONO Corporate Center, a 150,000 s/f office property located at 50 Washington St. The transaction was structured with a 5-year term with 2 years interest only followed by a 25-year amortization schedule. NorthMarq arranged financing for the borrower through its relationship with a national bank.

"Planned work includes extensive common area and tenant improvements. The loan included both a permanent loan piece and a revolving line of credit."
