The financing has been specified as a senior construction loan. Details on the Pearl Street residential tower The project will eventually have 19 stories, up from the current 8-story structure. Moreover, the first 8 floors on the property will have the multifamily rentals constructed under the new 467m tax abatement program. The additional 11 floors will be vertical condo developments. The multifamily and condo portions will each have their own class-A amenity space. These include tenant lounges, outdoor space, and a fitness center. Additionally, all units will overlook the Brooklyn Bridge. In addition, the Watermark Capital Group property is proximate to the F, A, and C subway lines offering direct access to Manhattan.
