BHI provided a $65,340,000 construction loan to NuVerse Advisors LLC to finance the development of 30-55 Vernon Boulevard, located in Astoria, Queens, New York.

Upon completion, 30-55 Vernon Boulevard will be a nine-story ground-up mixed-use development comprised of 121 residential units, two retail spaces, a community facility, and on-site parking.
