A
pair of blockbuster loans boosted a lackluster month in lending, with major investments made in two luxury condo developments. Steve Witkoff and Len Blavatnik secured a $1.15 billion loan for their High Line condo project, One High Line, while Zeckendorf Development and Atlas Capital Group landed a $1 billion construction loan for their West Village project at 80 Clarkson Street.

    Despite market headwinds, lenders provided financing across various asset classes in August. Two office projects secured refinancings, including the Stahl Organization's $750 million deal for its Midtown office tower at 277 Park Avenue, which came with a $250 million contribution from the landlord to cover building improvements. A struggling hotel portfolio also received financing, along with six residential projects.

    Here are some of the notable deals:

    * One High Line: JP Morgan and Tokyo Capital provided a $1.15 billion loan for Witkoff Group and Access Industries' condo project on the High Line.

    * 80 Clarkson Street: Cale Street Partners and Farallon Capital Management lent $1 billion to Zeckendorf Development and Atlas Capital Group for their luxury condo development in the West Village.
