Front St. The historic office building was constructed along Camden’s Delaware River waterfront in 1916, and was originally known as Building No. 2 on Vic- tor’s 58-acre campus. Frank Sinatra and Woody Guthrie signed contracts in its seventh-floor boardroom, and Neil Armstrong and Edward “Buzz” Aldrin, Jr. used backpack radio systems built at RCA’s Camden facility to communi- cate with each other as well as the rest of the world when they were on the moon. For the past 20 years the property was occupied by the Camden Board of Education. Follow- ing the BOE’s decision to downsize and market the Prop- erty, Millennial Partners was selected as the winning bidder in May of 2017.

Meridian arranged $46 million in financing to refinance The Lena, a multifamily community in Raritan, NJ on behalf of Castle Lanterra Properties. The five-year loan, which was provided by a balance sheet lender, features a rate of 3.75% and one year of interest-only payments followed by a 30- year amortization schedule. Meridian initiated the loan for the refinance when rates were begin- ning to rapidly increase, but as a result of the firm’s sub- stantial and ongoing relationship with lenders, was able to lock in a 3.75% interest rate, a very favorable rate in today’s environment. The property consists of 224 apart- ments ranging from one to three bedrooms and is located 40 miles south of NYC.
