Cushman & Wakefield served as the exclusive advisor to an affiliate of the United Federation of Teachers Local 2, American Federation of Teachers and AFL-CIO, in arranging a $62 million loan for 50 Broadway in Manhattan. The 10-year, fixed-rate financing was provided by an affiliate of Citigroup Global Markets.
The 37-story, 352,000-square-foot office and retail building is leased to over three dozen tenants including Seaport Electronics, YWCA, Regency International, CAA, Li-Saltzman Architects PC and the UFT and its affiliates. The UFT purchased the asset in 2002 for $54 million and is leasing a total of 90,000 square feet. The company also net leased the adjacent 52 Broadway, a 400,000-square-foot building. It maintains its headquarters within the two buildings.
