“This loan is part of a broader recapitalization and expansion of our real estate asset base across our various business lines, and we are excited to work with Prudential and Freddie Mac as key strategic partners in our continued growth,” said Greg Gleason, director of finance at Corigin.

The 17-story, 317,500-square-foot building, known as Lafayette Hall, houses more than 1,000 students in 262 units. The ground floor contains three retail units totaling 5,700 square feet. Corigin acquired the property and completed an “adaptive re-use” in 1999. [NYO] — Tess Hofmann
