The $130m funding includes around $90m senior loan from MSD Partners and the remaining $40m mezzanine loan is provided Lionheart through its current credit vehicle, Lionheart Real Estate Credit Strategies.

Lionheart chairman Winston Fisher said: “This transaction exemplifies our commitment to the resiliency and recovery of New York City and our confidence in its tourism and hospitality industries.

“With Lightstone’s strong track record of successful Moxy developments in New York and across the country, we believe this project will benefit from its prime location and is well positioned to capitalize on robust leisure tourist demand that we anticipate New York City will achieve as the market continues to recover from the effects of the COVID pandemic.”
