Lightstone purchased the former parking garage site in January 2016 for about $23 million and broke ground on the project in November of that year. It secured a $75 million loan from Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce that year.

The David Lichtenstein-led firm also recently received a $113 million loan from Goldman Sachs for its project at 365 Bond Street in Gowanus. The 12-story rental building holds 430 units.
