The Related Companies secured $125 million in financing for a West Chelsea development site just south of the Hudson Yards megaproject, according to property records filed with the city yesterday. The developer closed on the $205 million purchase of a two-story parking garage and parking lot, thus setting a neighborhood record at more than $700 per square foot.

The New York branch of German financial-services giant Deutsche Bank AG provided the loan.
