Flaherty and Collins Refinancing Update. Representatives of F &C have recently notified the City that they (in their words) ... received an unexpected offer to purchase the property about two weeks ago, and F &C wasn't sure they were going to consider it since they were so far along with the refinance. However, we signed a purchase agreement with the buyer on Friday, and they're stepping into our shoes with the same loan with PNC. The buyer is a very experienced multi- family property owner with over 41,000 units under ownership /management. The plan is to close the entire transaction within the next 30 days.
