The Deal at a Glance
  • The building last sold in 2022 for $21.5M, when The Kalikow Group sold it to FREO Group/Freo Management.
  • New debt comes from a different lender (ORIX RE Holdings) than the 2022 purchase loan (Hudson Valley Bank).
  • A straightforward recapitalization on an established 1920-built, 24-unit rental -- not a new sale or new construction.

Overview

This existing 24-unit, 1920-built rental building at 68 Richardson Street was refinanced with just over $17 million in new institutional debt in July 2026 -- a $16.13 million loan agreement and a separate $930,000 mortgage, both from ORIX RE Holdings, LLC. The building last traded in July 2022, when The Kalikow Group sold it to FREO Group/Freo Management (through partners KEPWRS INV and RiverOak NYC I, LLC) for $21.5 million, financed at the time by a $13.5 million Hudson Valley Bank loan to Kalikow's own ownership entity, per Kalikow's own project page, PincusCo, and The Real Deal. This refinancing is new debt from a different lender on that same, already-sold building -- a straightforward recapitalization, not a further change of ownership or new construction.

A straightforward refinancing on an established Williamsburg rental building, four years after its last sale -- useful context for the neighborhood's capital-markets activity, though not itself a development story.
