The Borrower’s condominium interest spans display floors 16 through 51 (construction floors 12 through 38) of the 30 Hudson Yards building, which stands 90 stories tall and benefits from a prominent location within New York City’s revitalized Hudson Yards district. Loan proceeds of $1.43 billion in addition to an equity contribution of $782.0 million financed the Borrower’s nearly $2.16 billion acquisition of the subject collateral and funded $57.0 million of closing costs associated with the transaction. The $1.43 billion whole-loan amount is structured as a $1.12 billion Senior A-note and a $310.0 million Junior B-note. The Senior A-note is to be bifurcated into 29 pari-passu notes while the Junior B-note will be bifurcated into three pari-passu notes. This transaction will include $448.0 million of Senior A-note proceeds in addition to $310.0 of Junior B-note proceeds, representing a total trust balance of $758.0 million. The ten-year loan is full-term IO and represents a relatively modest LTV of 65.0% based on the whole-loan amount of $1.43 billion. SOURCES & USES Sources Amount Per SF % of Total Uses Amount Per SF % of Total Senior A-Note 1,120,000,000 765.43 50.6% Purchase Price 2,155,000,000 1,472.77 97.4% Junior B-Note 310,000,000 211.86 14.0% Closing Costs 56,978,273 38.94 2.6% Sponsor Equity 781,978,273 534.42 35.4% Total 2,211,978,273 417.25 100.0% Total 2,211,978,273 1,435.83 100.0% The collateral is superbly located along the easternmost boundary of Hudson Yards, which is considered to be the largest private real estate development in U.S. history. Hudson Yards broke ground in 2008 and, upon completion, will include over 18.0 million sf of commercial and residential space across 26.0 acres. The Hudson Yards development has been supported by more than $4.0 billion of public investment, which includes a new No. 7 subway station located at the base of the 30 Hudson Yards building that positively enhances the commutability of the collateral. The Hudson Yards development is situated at the north-easternmost corner of New York’s Hudson Yards district, which was rezoned to include approximately 25.8 million sf of Class A office product, 20,000 residential units, 2.0 million sf of hospitality space, 1.0 million sf of retail space, a 750-seat public school and over 20 acres of open space. Per Reis, the collateral’s Penn Station submarket is vulnerable to a substantial influx of new supply with nearly 13.2 million sf of completions estimated to drive submarket vacancy rates as high as 11.9% through year-end 2023. Per Reis, however, the collateral’s Penn Station submarket reported the lowest average office submarket vacancy rate of 3.5% among New York Metro submarkets as of Q1 2019. Furthermore, the collateral’s location within Hudson Yards makes it is uniquely well positioned to absorb the escalating number of office tenants seeking flight from the historically more prominent subsections of New York City’s Midtown submarket in favor of newer-vintage office product, such as the collateral. The 30 Hudson Yards building offers superior Class A finishes with state-of-the-art infrastructure and amenities, including a triple-height lobby, column-free floorplates, floor-to-ceiling windows, several outdoor terraces, an underground connection to the new No. 7 subway station and a public observation deck offering panoramic city views from approximately 1,000 feet high. The collateral portion is 100.0% leased to WarnerMedia via a 15-year lease scheduled to expire in May 2034. WarnerMedia will be consolidating several of its primary New-York based business arms (i.e. Home Box Office (HBO), Turner Broadcasting System, Inc. (Turner Broadcasting) and Warner Bros. Entertainment Inc. (Warner Bros.)) to the 30 Hudson Yards building and has reportedly invested approximately $700.0 million ($478 psf ) of its own capital in the build-out of its space. WarnerMedia was acquired by AT&T Inc. (AT&T) in 2018 and AT&T will serve as the guarantor on WarnerMedia’s lease within the collateral. DBRS considers AT&T to be investment-grade rated, thereby providing enhanced cash flow stability to the transaction through the duration of the lease term. Wells Fargo and KKR & Co. Inc. Structured Finance: CMBS 5 HUDSON YARDS 2019-30HY JUNE 2019 (KKR) have additionally taken occupancy at the 30 Hudson Yards Building and BlackRock, Inc. (BlackRock) recently executed a 20-year lease for 847,081 sf of space at the adjacent 50 Hudson Yards property, further evidencing the superior quality of the asset and enhanced desirability of the Hudson Yards location. The loan further benefits from exceptionally strong sponsorship through a joint venture among Arizona State Retirement System (ASRS), two affiliates of Allianz SE (Allianz) and affiliates of The Related Companies, L.P. (Related). The sponsors contributed $782.0 million of cash equity to the transaction at closing, representing 35.0% of the aggregate cost basis. The DBRS-concluded value of $1,730,935,863 represents a 21.3% discount to the collateral’s appraised value of $2.2 billion. The resulting DBRS LTV of 82.6% is relatively high, considering that DBRS rates the last dollar of debt at BBB (sf ); however, DBRS believes that the subject’s superb location, excellent curb appeal and favorable market dynamic within a strong subsection of a gateway market and financial metropolis will provide stable levels of demand for the collateral through a variety of real estate cycles, thereby dampening downside volatility in years to come.

  • How Related Leased 7 Million Square Feet of Office Space at Hudson Yards
    How Related leased 7 million square feet of office space at Hudson Yards March 19,2019 | by Rebecca Baird-Remba When Related Companies began searching for tenants to fill its first, 1.8-million-square-foot office tower at Hudson Yards in 2011, its leasing brokers had to convince companies to move to a neighborhood that was still a hole in the ground. The development firm was in the middle of decking over the 26-acre West Side rail yard and laying the foundations for the first phase of its sprawling, mixed-use development, which would eventually encompass 18 million square feet of commercial and residential space. Stephen Winter, a senior vice president at Related who has led much of the office leasing at Hudson Yards, had to show CEOs that their workers would one day have access to dozens of casual lunch options and restaurants. One day, the hole in the ground would be home to a million square feet of retail—luxury retailers, fast fashion stores, food halls, five star eateries and interactive art exhibits. But none of it was built yet, and back then, asking tenants to lease hundreds of thousands of square feet at Hudson Yards was a gamble. “Six, seven years ago, we had to break through doors and be as persistent as ever,” Winter explained. “It was a totally new place for everyone. It was a blank slate, an open piece of land with rail yards beneath it.” He gave “credit where credit was due” to the first crop of tenants who signed on to 10 Hudson Yards, including Coach, L’Oreal and SAP, which opened as the development’s first office building in 2016.

The challenge was to match the anticipated reactions of the new construction, which are governed by the building’s architectural design and construction scheme, to the location and capacity of the columns of the existing structure. While the combined capacity of the columns of the existing structure could support the weight of the new construction, the distribution of the reactions from the new construction was considerably different from the capacities of the existing supports. Among the several options explored, the use of post-tensioning configured to generate a set of hyperstatic reactions so that the reac- tions from the new structure matched the capacity of the existing supports proved to be the most practical and effective scheme.

  • Fairytale of New York: Hudson Yards
    September 29th, 2017 Fairytale of New York: Hudson Yards At three times the size of the Rockefeller Center, when it is fully built out, some time around 2040, more than 27m sq ft of new class-A office space, 20m sq ft of new housing, 3m sq ft of hotels and 2m sq ft of retail will have been delivered by developers that include Related Companies, Oxford Properties, Brookfield and Tishman Speyer. Millions of square feet of space have already been completed and leased to blue-chip occupiers, and further significant deals are rumoured to be on the cards. No wonder the Hudson Yards district is one of the hottest property markets in New York City at the moment. So how did a development of this scale and ambition come about, who is doing what in the district and where is Hudson Yards’ new office occupier base being drawn from? Historically the Hudson Yards district consisted of warehousing and industrial space alongside the Manhattan waterfront. The area primarily acted as a rail hub that was fed 747 Third Avenue, Floor 18 New York, NY 10017 212.889.0808 [email protected] marinopr.com by the High Line - which closed years ago and has over the past decade been converted into green public spaces - as well as the Long Island Rail Road. But that all started to change when New York mayor Michael Bloomberg came to power in the early 2000s. “He noted that the average age of commercial office property in Manhattan was north of 75 years and with that in mind, he said, quite correctly, if we’re going to attract the best and brightest in the TAMI [technology, advertising, media and information] sectors, we’ve got to have some new product,” says Bruce Mosler, chairman of global brokerage at Cushman & Wakefield.

  • Who Are NYC's Most Active Developers?
    Who are NYC’s most active developers? The Real Deal ranked the top 10 December 27, 2018 | By Kathryn Brenzel and Kevin Sun The companies behind two mega-developments on Manhattan’s far West Side are the city’s busiest developers — and will likely remain so for the next few years. Related Companies and Brookfield Property Partners are the top two most active developers in the city in terms of the scale of their ongoing projects. Related and Brookfield are respectively being kept busy by their massive mixed-use proj- ects, Hudson Yards and Manhattan West. The Real Deal compiled a list of the city’s busiest developers of new construction, based on building permits issued by the Department of Buildings. Only projects with active permits that have not yet been issued a temporary certificate of occupancy (TCO) as of Dec.19 were included. Alterations were not included in developers’ total square footages or project counts. Here are the top 10 most active developers by square footage, as represented in DOB filings. 1. Related Companies Square footage: 6 million Number of projects: 9 Related’s largest ongoing project is 415 10th Avenue, better known as 50 Hudson Yards. The 2.2 million-square-foot office tower has been the target of multiple protests over the past year, due to the developer’s decision to use both union and nonunion construction labor on the project. Related’s second-largest ongoing project is another office tower at 550 West 34th Street, better known as 55 Hudson Yards. 2. Brookfield Property Partners Square footage: 4 million Number of projects: 4 Brookfield’s largest ongoing project is One Manhattan West, a 2 million-square–foot-plus office tower on Ninth Avenue.

  • Fur District’
    Nypost.com March 14, 2018 Well-heeled New Yorkers are flocking to the ‘Fur District’ By Emily Nonko Impressions 23,917,718 Simon Fagg recently moved to amenity-laden rental Abington House. It's just one of the projects energizing 30th Street, once the domain of 9-to-5ers. Zandy Mangold n In the 1970s, Bennett Model commuted to work on 30th Street at his family’s company, a buying office that purchased luxury outerwear for stores around the I world. At the time, the area was known as the Fur District: Between 30th and 27th streets and Sixth and Eighth avenues, “there were over 350 fur-related companies” — and not much else, says Model, now 70. It was unfathomable that the neighborhood would attract more than a 9-to-5 crowd; the swath south of Penn Station and the Empire State Building was dominated by Nypost.com March 14, 2018 commercial businesses and had nothing in the way of nightlife. “It wasn’t a place where people lived,” Model says. Today, developers are building 346 condo and rental units along 30th Street, from the Hudson to the East River, according to Halstead Property Development Marketing. New residents bullish on the area include Simon Fagg, a 42-year-old Brit who moved to a studio at 500 W. 30th St.’s Abington House in 2015. The shift was, of course, gradual. In the 1990s, Model witnessed fur companies getting priced out or taking business elsewhere, and warehouses were converted to loft apartments. These days, he observes, practically everything — the under-construction towers, the Kimpton Hotel Eventi (renovated in 2015), Nordstrom Rack (opened in fall 2017) and hip Till & Sprocket restaurant (a 2016 debut) — is different.
