The maturity date of this loan has been extended to June 10, 2021. As part of this extension, the maximum loan amount has been increased by $ 4,250,000. This additional loan proceeds will be used in the future to finance a portion of the remaining costs to repair construction defects and related damage.

Construction continues on the 77 Greenwich project. By mid-March, we had completed the superstructure, the structure was 90% closed, and the installation of the frame and drywall had started. Additionally, we have completed the transfer of the school condominium at the base of the building to the NYC School Construction Authority. On March 27, the governor halted all non-essential construction, but the project site reopened in mid-April as a qualified essential project due to the need for further work on the school. On June 8, full construction operations in all project areas resumed with an emphasis on apartment finishes.
