Centurion secured about $204 million in financing for the deal from KKR Real Estate Finance. The deal includes a $53.9 million gap mortgage, an $18.1 million project mortgage and a $27.5 million building mortgage.

The teacher’s pension fund bought the property, which has 196 residential units, from the building’s developer, the Gotham Organization in 2011 for $209 million.

The transaction marks the second recent sale for TH Real Estate. Last month, TH Real Estate and Norway’s sovereign wealth fund sold 470 Park Avenue South for $245 million to PGIM Real Estate and SJP Properties.
