The developers of the recently-opened Pod Hotel in Williamsburg have received an $84 million bridge loan from Ladder Capital.

The loan to developers CBSK Ironstate—a partnership between CB Developers, SK Development Group and Ironstate Development—replaces a roughly $58 million construction loan on the project from Deutsche Bank. Maverick Commercial Properties brokered the deal, but the company was not available for comment. CBSK Ironstate and Ladder Capital did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
