Steve Kassin’s Infinity Real Estate Provides a Senior Loan for the Acquisition of 169 First Avenue in Manhattan, NY

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Infinity Real Estate originated a $2,500,000 floating-rate senior loan as part of a larger purchase and recapitalization of both 169 1^st Avenue and 171 1^st Avenue in Manhattan. Originally, in 2019, a partnership between BridgeInvest and Infinity originated a $12,000,000 financing package secured by the adjacent mixed-use properties. 171 1^st Avenue features the renowned Momofuku restaurant, along with four full-floor loft-style apartment units. 169 1^st Avenue features ground-floor retail and a duplex apartment with a large private garden space. Both properties were recently sold, providing the opportunity for BridgeInvest and Infinity to redeploy their capital, and for Infinity to independently issue a new senior loan for the purchaser of 169 1^st Avenue.
