For Immediate Release: New York: Winter & Company Commercial Real Estate Finance has successfully arranged a $2,500,000 loan for a classic pre-war Upper West Side cooperative between West End Avenue and Riverside Drive. The 7-story, 98% owner-occupied luxury doorman building consists of 88 units.

Winter & Company originally arranged financing for this building in August 1997, reducing the co-op's interest rate by 2.6% - from 9.77% to 7.125%. Taking advantage of the even lower interest rate environment in recent months, Winter & Company was able to once again have the rate reduced to only 9.52% while helping the co-op achieve it's objective of obtaining a 20-year fixed-rate loan.

The new 5.92% mortgage is amortized on a 20-year fully self-liquidating schedule. Gregg Winter, President of Winter & Company, closed the loan on April 3, 2003. Winter & Company takes particular pride in its many repeat customers who seek our services years after the initial transaction.
