For Immediate Release: New York: Winter & Company Commercial has placed a new $750,000 underlying mortgage on a prime 22-unit cooperative located on 76th Street near Amsterdam Avenue on Manhattan's Upper West Side. The terms include an interest rate of 7.36%, fixed for the 20 year term of the loan. The loan was structured to allow the board to lock in a low rate at will in the midst of a volatile interest rate environment.

Winter & Company also arranged for additional financing in the form of a 300,000 line of credit with a current available interest rate of less than 5%, which will provide an inexpensive source of funds in the event that the co-op encounters unforeseen capital expenditures in the future. There will be substantial interest rate savings on the new mortgage that will enable the co-op to build up its reserve fund. Nevertheless the Board felt it was wise to have a source of low-cost financing available for future contingencies.

Henry Berliss and Gregg Winter handled this loan, which closed on December 14th.
