Capital One Bank closes $67.5M loan for Bethlehem Township project



Capital One Bank completed the syndication of a $67.5 million loan for Murray Kushner/KRE Group and The Silverman Group, two companies developing Madison Farms, a mixed-use development under construction near Route 33 in Bethlehem Township.

The loan is for the construction of the project, which consists of 123,000 square feet of retail space, including a ShopRite supermarket and Starbucks, and 294 residential rental units.

Of the loan amount, $43.8 million will be used for residential construction and $23.7 million will be for retail space, according to Michael Bulger, a spokesperson for Capital One Bank, headquartered in McLean, Va.

Additional banks financing the project include Provident Bank, serving as the documentation agent, and National Penn Bank, as a participant, Bulger said. Capital One acted as sole lead arranger, sole book runner and administrative agent on the transaction, Bulger added.

"This loan facility is one of the keystones for the development of our project, and securing it allows us to construct Madison Farms as planned," said Jamie Block, director of finance at KRE Group. "The terms offered by Capital One are consistent with our budget and our financial goals for the project. As always, we are proud to be working with their team and we look forward to the successful build-out of this multiuse, multiphase project."

Kushner Real Estate Group is a full-service real estate investment and management company with headquarters in New York and New Jersey. The Silverman Group is a family owned and operated private equity and real estate development organization based in Short Hills, N.J.

"Capital One's hands-on approach was instrumental in finding the tailored financial solution that fit our needs," Murray Kushner, chairman of Kushner Real Estate Group, said in a news release.
