Mortgages Payable MORTGAGES PAYABLE
On December 5, 2025, we completed a $175,000,000 refinancing of the mortgage loan on our Rego Park II shopping center. The interest-only loan is at SOFR plus 2.00% (5.72% as of December 31, 2025) and matures on December 5, 2030. We paid down by $23,544,000 the previous $198,544,000 loan that bore interest at SOFR plus 1.45% and was scheduled to mature on December 12, 2025.
On December 23, 2025, we entered into an agreement to restructure the $300,000,000 mortgage loan on the retail condominium portion of 731 Lexington Avenue, which previously bore interest at SOFR plus 1.51%. The restructured loan was split into (i) a $132,500,000 senior A-Note that was purchased by a wholly owned subsidiary of Alexander’s, which bears interest at a fixed rate of 7.00% and (ii) a $167,500,000 junior C-Note held by the lenders of the original loan, which accrues PIK interest at 4.55%. In addition, Alexander’s has the right to fund operating shortfalls, interest on the A-Note and capital for re-leasing at the property through a B-Note, which will be junior to the A-Note and senior to the C-Note. The B-Note bears interest at a fixed rate of 13.50%, except for loan amounts above $65,000,000 used to pay interest on the A-Note, which will bear interest at a fixed rate of 7.00%. The restructured loan matures in December 2035.
All future net sales or refinancing proceeds will be distributed through the payment waterfall per the terms of the restructured loan agreement. If such proceeds (or appraised value in such refinancing) are insufficient to cover the C-Note loan balance, any outstanding C-Note indebtedness that remains unpaid shall be forgiven.
The loan restructuring qualifies as a troubled debt restructuring under GAAP. As such, we expensed $607,000 of direct costs incurred in connection with the loan restructuring which is included in “Interest and debt expense” on the consolidated statements of income for the year ended December 31, 2025. Since the debt balances related to the A-Note and B-Note are eliminated in consolidation, the balance presented as mortgages payable for this loan on our consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2025 is $167,691,000, which is comprised of the principal balance of the C-Note and the PIK interest due upon maturity.
The following is a summary of our outstanding mortgages payable. We may refinance our maturing debt as it comes due or choose to repay it.

The net carrying value of real estate collateralizing the debt amounted to $578,973,000 as of December 31, 2025. Our existing financing documents contain covenants that limit our ability to incur additional indebtedness on these properties, and in certain circumstances, provide for lender approval of tenants’ leases and yield maintenance to prepay them.
