NEW YORK CITY-Savitt Partners has signed several leases at 530 Seventh Ave.—three new and one expansion at the 460,000-square foot tower.

Fortune Swimwear will move from 1411 Broadway to the building, where it has signed a new lease for 2,800 square feet. That lease is for five years.

“The company had been looking for a showroom on Seventh Avenue and the beautifully designed space at 530 Seventh Ave. was proof that you can enjoy a state-of-the-art facility in the heart of the Fashion District,” said Savitt’s Marc Schoen in a prepared statement. Schoen negotiated the lease in-house with Michael Schoen. Richard Pugatch and Richard Seling of Coldwell Banker Commercial Hunter Realty represented Fortune Swimwear in the deal. Also in the building, Authentic Apparel Group, LLC signed a three-year, 1,800-square-foot deal with representation by Michael Frantz of Newmark Knight Frank. Robert Savitt and Marc Schoen worked that lease deal in-house for Savitt.

Frantz also repped Grass, Love Tease, and Roulette—a manufacturer of sportswear and dresses—in a new lease at the building. Marc Schoen repped Savitt. Then, lastly, ARF Apparel International extended its lease in the building for five years and took 1,800 square feet more. Savitt handled that lease for the tenant and in-house.

NEW YORK CITY-Marcus & Millichap Capital Corp. arranged financing for a six-unit apartment building on west 20th street. Sean Mooney, an associate director in the Manhattan office worked on the transaction, which resulted in a $1.3-million loan, at a fixed interest rate of 4.125%. According to the firm, with the condo market strong in New York City, the owner of the building sees more potential in the property as a condo, instead of a rental. The financing was through New York City Savings Bank.

NEW YORK CITY-Real estate investment firm Beck Street Capital closed on the sale of 82 Christopher St. in Greenwich Village. A foreign buyer, Jayvanka, LLC, bought the five-story building for roughly $6.1-million. The mixed-use residential and retail building is the second sale for Beck Street in less than a year, according to the firm. In December it sold a six-property portfolio of retail buildings on Bleecker Street for $34-million, or about $6,700 per square foot.
