The apartment building, known as Midwest Court, was built in 1987. The seven-story building has 220 units, and according to StreetEasy, six apartments are up for rent. A one-bedroom unit is currently listed for $3,750 a month, and a two-bedroom is listed for $5,500.

Representatives for Rockrose could not immediately be reached for comment on the transaction.

In July, Rockrose secured $348 million to refinance Hayden, its Long Island City apartment complex at 43-25 Hunter Street. The state’s Housing Finance Agency provided the debt through a servicing agreement with Wells Fargo. That mortgage replaced a $270 million loan from 2015.
