Columbia University <\/b>sold the 126-unit residential property known as Arbor<\/b> to PGIM and Hal Fetner<\/b>\u2019s firm for a total capitalization of $73 million after deeming it was no longer a strategic asset for the school, according to sources familiar with the deal.<\/p>\n

The buyers secured a $47.6 million acquisition and bridge loan toward the purchase, upgrades and stabilization of the nine-story asset, sources said. When Columbia\u2019s short-term lease turns over, the building will be converted from student housing to residential use, according to one source.<\/p>\n

Newmark<\/a><\/b>\u2019s Adam Spies<\/b>, Eric Roth<\/b>, Brett Siegel<\/b> and Tyler Signora<\/b> negotiated the sale, and a Newmark team of Jordan Roeschlaub<\/b> and Max Ralby<\/b> handled the financing.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s unclear who the lenders are.<\/p>\n

Fetner, PGIM and Columbia did not respond to a request for comment, while Newmark declined to comment.<\/p>\n

Columbia bought the then-new property in 2008 for $67.6 million from L+M Development Partners<\/b>, which originally built it as condominiums. At the time, four-bedroom units were listed for around $1.36 million, according to property records and the Riverdale Press<\/a>.<\/p>\n

According to Columbia\u2019s website, Arbor is used by eligible students, researchers and faculty who live in private or shared apartments featuring in-unit washers and dryers. Amenities include a gym, a playroom, bike storage, on-site parking, a roof deck and shuttle service to campus.<\/p>\n
