therealdeal.com – Tribeca Associates sealed $61 million in construction financing from the Bank of the Ozarks for its proposed 26-story hotel at 143 Fulton Street in the Financial District.

The development firm closed on a $46.6 million building loan and a $14.4 million project loan from the Little Rock, Ark.-based lender on April 28, according to property records filed with the city Thursday.

The funds will go toward Tribeca Associates’ planned 228-room hotel development, which is slated to span 88,000 square feet and hold retail space on its first and second floors, as The Real Deal reported last year.
