Northwind Group founder Ran Eliasaf said his private credit firm is stepping in to fill a void from commercial banks as a lender in the redevelopment of the former Hudson Hotel on West 58th Street in New York City into apartments. Northwind Group is providing $100 million in capital for the 24-story hotel, which closed in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic after decades as a local destination designed by Ian Schrager, the firm announced Tuesday.
“The biggest need is in the senior debt,” Eliasaf said. “That piece would be typically provided by a commercial bank but most are on the sidelines.” The financing comes about a year after CSC Coliving acquired the hotel from Eldridge Industries for $207 million.
