HFF placed the three-year, floating-rate loan through Ladder Capital Finance.

Originally built in 1911, 35 West 36th Street is a 12-story, loft-style building with 70,800 s/f of office space and 7,080 s/f of ground-floor retail. The building’s renovated lobby has two high-speed elevators that open directly into each tenant’s space.
