Trinity Place Holdings Refinances 77 Greenwich

Occupancy at the 90-unit luxury condominium has begun

Company Closes Private Placement of Common Stock and Announces Key Dates for Rights Offering

Trinity Place Holdings Inc. (NYSE American: TPHS) (the “Company”) announced that it had entered into an inventory loan provided by Macquarie Capital, the advisory, capital markets and principal investment arm of Macquarie Group, the global financial services firm. Proceeds from the loan, which has a two-year term with an additional one-year extension option, were used to repay the 77 Greenwich construction loan and will support the final closeout of construction and further sellout efforts at the luxury mixed-use development.

“We are nearing completion on this new trophy asset in Lower Manhattan and the building looks spectacular,” said Matthew Messinger, President & CEO of Trinity Place Holdings Inc. “The loan from Macquarie gives us the flexibility to maximize the value of the asset in this vastly improving residential sales market. We are honored to be partnering with a lender of Macquarie’s stature in this final phase of 77 Greenwich’s development as we continue to sell units and residents move into the building.”

“We are very selective and are incredibly excited to support the full sellout of this unique mixed-use building being executed by a high caliber team at Trinity Place Holdings, in an ever more vibrant Downtown neighborhood,” said Jackie Hamilton, Global Co-Head, Real Estate Principal Investing at Macquarie Capital.

Messinger also noted that “third quarter home sales in Manhattan were the highest in 32 years, and have been especially active at the high end. Home sales above $4 million have increased by 133% since the same period in 2019. As international travel reopens next month and companies set a return-to-work date early next year, we remain bullish on Downtown Manhattan.” He added, “I would also like to thank Mass Mutual for being our partner on the construction phase through the pandemic.”

In connection with the loan, affiliates of or funds managed by long-time investors MFP Partners and Third Avenue Management provided equity funding in a private placement, with the Company’s mezzanine lender, an affiliate of its corporate lender and a global institutional asset management firm, providing additional mezzanine financing. A rights offering will be made to all shareholders on the same terms as the private placement.

77 Greenwich Development Project (“Jolie On Greenwich”)

  • The Company’s Lower Manhattan luxury mixed-use development is nearing completion.

  • In addition to 90 residential condominium units starting at 150’ above street level – all with water views of New York Harbor and the Hudson River – the development includes an approximately 7,500 square foot retail unit owned by the Company, a portion of which has been leased, and a newly constructed elementary school.
  • The NYC School Construction Authority (SCA) is finishing the interior buildout of the new elementary school at the base of the building, which was conveyed to the SCA in April 2020. The school is anticipated to open in September 2022 with capacity for approximately 476 students.
