Dutch Kills, Long Island City, Queens, September 4, 2025
A $23.15 million first mortgage construction loan from Bridge City Funding has been secured to finance a new six-story mixed-use building at 37-20 Crescent St. in Dutch Kills, Long Island City. RIPCO Real Estate’s capital advisory team arranged the financing for developers ZD Jasper Realty and Winspire Development. The project, named CRESYN in filings, will deliver 39 condominium units above roughly 11,400 square feet of ground-floor retail, with rooftop gym and lounge, package room, bicycle and private storage. Construction is expected to begin with an anticipated opening within 24 months as permitting and tenant plans progress.
A first mortgage construction loan of $23.15 million has been arranged to fund a new six-story mixed-use building at 37-20 Crescent St. in the Dutch Kills section of Long Island City, Queens. The loan comes from Bridge City Funding and was arranged by the capital advisory team at RIPCO Real Estate.
The loan will fund construction of a six-floor building that will hold 39 residences and roughly 11,400 square feet of ground-floor retail. The developers plan resident amenities that include a rooftop gym and rooftop lounge, a package room, bicycle storage and private storage for units. The building is expected to open within 24 months of the financing announcement.
The project will be developed by ZD Jasper Realty in partnership with Winspire Development. The site was purchased earlier this year by the development partners from RIPCO’s Preuss Team. RIPCO’s capital advisory team that arranged the loan was led by Adam Hakim and included James Murad and Michael Winter. Executives from the developer teams, including ZD Jasper vice president Jasper Wu and Winspire’s Michael Wang, were involved in securing the financing.
The property sits in the Dutch Kills neighborhood of Long Island City and is close to the 21st Street and Queensboro Plaza subway stations, which carry the N, W and 7 trains. The site’s location is part of a broader wave of new residential and mixed-use work in Long Island City.
Project filings describe a six-story building standing about 63 feet tall and totaling roughly 50,000 square feet. The development team has used the working name CRESYN for the building. Reported figures put the site purchase at about $8.5 million, with the project’s total cost expected to be roughly $31 million.
The new loan and fast-track construction plan signal continued interest in Long Island City as a place for mixed-use housing and retail. The financing was presented as meeting current demand for new residences and neighborhood amenities, and it clears a major step for breaking ground and starting construction work within the stated timeline.
The Crescent Street loan comes amid several other large development moves in Long Island City, including a separate, much bigger construction package for a long-planned tower in a nearby Court Square area. Those projects together illustrate site assembly and large financing packages that are reshaping the area’s skyline and housing supply.
RIPCO Real Estate announced the financing and said its capital advisory team led the arrangement. The team included senior advisors and managing directors who coordinated with the lender and the developers to close the construction loan. The deal will serve as the construction capital for the building at 37-20 Crescent St.
With construction financing in place, the developers will use the loan to begin on-site work. The stated goal is to complete the building and open it to residents and retail tenants within two years. The development team still plans to finalize commercial tenant deals and condo pricing as the build progresses.
