SL Green Realty Trust and PGIM Real Estate sewed up $195 million to refinance a loan on their Diamond District office condominium, known as Tower 46.

M&T Bank and Natixis provided the senior loan, proceeds of which will be used to complete the lease-up of the top floors of 55 West 46th Street, according to M&T, which is acting as the administrative agent for the loan.

The financing replaces an existing $190 million loan from Wells Fargo, which backed SL Green and PGIM’s acquisition of the condo in October 2014, records show. That three-year loan had two one-year extension options.
