The Moinian Group scored some new financing for its tower at 2 Washington Street in the Financial District, which is undergoing a partial residential conversion.

Square Mile Capital is providing Moinian with $131.5 million in financing for the work at the 31-story North Building in the two-building, mixed-use complex called 17 Battery Park, according to a new city filing.

The Moinian Group partnered with Collaborative Construction Management to undertake the conversion, which will provide 345 rental units. Nyack College owns part of the 1970s-era building.
