InterVest Lands $85M Hudson Bay Loan for 300 Lafayette Street in Soho

Hudson Bay Capital Management gave InterVest Capital Partners an $85 million loan to refinance 300 Lafayette Street, a Soho office building once owned by Nightingale Properties. A Newmark team represented the borrower, and the deal closed about a month ago. InterVest took full ownership in May 2025 after stepping in during a 2023 foreclosure threat.

What happened

InterVest Capital Partners refinanced the debt on 300 Lafayette Street, a 60,000-square-foot office building in Soho. Hudson Bay Capital Management provided an $85 million loan. The Real Deal reported this on October 19, 2026, citing PincusCo. The deal closed roughly one month before that report.

The new loan replaces a previous $85 million loan. InterVest itself had provided that earlier loan before it took over ownership. A Newmark team of Jordan Roeschlaub, Nick Scribani and John Caraviello represented InterVest as borrower.

The building was once owned by Elie Schwartz's Nightingale Properties. In 2019, InterVest, then called Wafra Capital Partners, partnered with Nightingale to buy the leasehold that controls the property. The owner offered the property for sale in 2022, seeking bids of about $200 million. In 2023, lender TPG Real Estate Finance said in filings that it was owed about $129 million, which put Nightingale at risk of losing the building. An InterVest affiliate halted a foreclosure by buying a $143 million note. InterVest then acquired the property in May 2025 for $132.5 million. Related Companies and LargaVista developed the site, once a BP gas station, and sold the finished project for about $125 million.

The same report noted trouble at another Soho office property. Stellar Management's $800 million mortgage on One Soho Square was sent to special servicing, which lets the landlord explore an extension or modification. The Real Deal said vacancy there has doubled over four years to 14 percent, cash flow is below projections, and major tenant Flatiron Health shows signs of a possible exit. That mortgage matures in about two years, and the property also carries $120 million in mezzanine debt.

What it means

Landlords

This is a commercial office deal, not a residential one. It shows lenders are still refinancing some Manhattan office debt, while the One Soho Square example shows other office loans are under strain.

Tenants and voucher holders

The material does not describe any apartments at 300 Lafayette Street. Nothing here changes rents, vouchers or housing rules.

Buyers and owners

The deal shows a common path for a distressed asset: a partner buys the debt, takes ownership, then replaces its own loan with outside financing.

The highlights

  1. InterVest bought the 60,000-square-foot building in May 2025 for $132.5 million.
  2. The loan replaces an earlier $85 million loan InterVest made before taking ownership.
  3. In 2023, an InterVest affiliate bought a $143 million note to halt a foreclosure.

Why it matters Landlords

It shows lenders still financing Manhattan office buildings that went through distress, a signal on credit conditions for NYC commercial owners.

Background

Commercial owners often refinance to replace an expiring or temporary loan with new debt. When a loan held in a commercial mortgage-backed security runs into trouble or is expected to, it can be moved to a special servicer. The special servicer can negotiate options such as an extension, a modification or, in some cases, foreclosure. Mezzanine debt is a separate loan that sits behind the mortgage and is usually secured by ownership interests in the property company rather than the building itself.
