Trinity Place Holdings Sells Joint Venture Interest in The Berkley in Williamsburg, Brooklyn

Unit Finishes Nearing Completion in Jolie

Trinity Place Holdings Inc. (NYSE: TPHS) (the “Company”) announced that it, along with its joint venture partner, has closed on the sale of The Berkley, at 223 North 8th Street in Williamsburg, Brooklyn (the “Property”), to TF Cornerstone for $71.02 million. The Company purchased a 50% interest in the Property alongside Pacolet Milliken in December 2016.

The net proceeds from the sale, after repayment of the property’s mortgage and partner loan and settlement proceeds from the interest rate swap associated with the Property’s mortgage will be used for working capital and/or new investment opportunities for the Company.

“We took advantage of the current market to make this opportunistic sale,” stated Matthew Messinger, CEO and President of Trinity Place Holdings. “This further bolsters our investment thesis that even when interest rates are volatile and rising, high-quality multifamily assets in prime New York City neighborhoods remain in strong demand,” he continued.

After an increase in vacancy and leasing concessions during the COVID-19 crisis in New York City, the Property maintained 99% occupancy over the past 12 months, with net effective rent growth approaching 20% on new leases.

77 Greenwich Update

Final completion work continues at Jolie, the Company’s mixed-use development at 77 Greenwich Street in Lower Manhattan. The construction hoist was removed in February 2022, and the curtain wall in that area is being installed. Interior finishes are now being installed in the hoist run (“A line”) units, which are the largest homes in the building. As the New York City Department of Buildings issues rolling temporary certificates of occupancy (TCO) for those units (expected this summer), resident move-ins to A line units will be permitted. Cloud Club 77, located on the top floors of Jolie, is also expected to receive its TCO this summer, opening the full suite of indoor and outdoor amenities to residents.
