Mezzanine Lenders – Stuyvesant Town-Peter Cooper Village Litigation

Herrick and co-counsel successfully represented junior lenders in litigation related to the foreclosure of Stuyvesant Town-Peter Cooper Village, Manhattan's largest housing complex, which our clients alleged was based on a flawed premise, designed to provide an unjust windfall of approximately $1 billion to the defendants at the expense of junior lenders. This litigation, fought primarily in New York state court, was ultimately settled in an agreement that resolved all claims between the parties and helped clear the way for a future sale of the complex.
