“We are very pleased with the speed and efficacy with which Gamma helped us refinance the property,” said Eran Polack, CEO of HAP’s New York operations and co-founder of the company.

Gamma president Jonathan Kalikow said his firm was “delighted to be assisting HAP and eager to contribute to its expanding presence in the New York metropolitan area. HAP has become an important player in community growth in this area.”

HAP Investments has approximately two million square feet completed or in development in New York City. Among the firm’s other projects in development are 215 West 28th Street in Chelsea; a 21-story, two-building blend of rental and condominium residences near the High Line; and HAP Tower, an approximately 900,000 s/f rental and retail building in the Journal Square section of Jersey City, near the PATH station.

To be known as HAP SEVEN, the development at 4452 Broadway will bring 206 apartments and retail to a development designed by Karl Fischer Architects.
