E-port's development team consists of Taconic Investment Partners LLC, Amerimar Enterprises Inc., Angelo Gordon and Co., and Centrum Properties Inc. They are converting the entire eight-story southern catalog building and the first six floors of the northern catalog building into high-tech telecom space. The upper four floors in the northern catalog building are being coverted to luxury condominiums.
"E-port is the largest, most technologically advanced telecom facility currently under development in the US," says Evan Pariser of Holliday Fenoglio Fowler's New York City office, which arranged non-recourse, floating-rate financing through Credit Suisse First Boston.
