In 1992, Mr. Rosenberg began working on the acquisition of the site which would become 4 Times Square (the Conde Nast Building). Mr. Rosenberg went on to work on the construction loan, the Conde Nast and Skadden, Arps leases, and the permanent financing which, at $420,000,000, was the largest single asset securitization of its time. From 2002 to 2010, Mr. Rosenberg worked on what would become One Bryant Park (the Bank of America Tower). He was counsel for the Durst Organization in the site acquisition of a number of outparcels, the joint venture negotiations with Bank of America, the lease negotiations with Bank of America, the $900,000,000 construction loan (a unique combination of Tax Exempt Liberty Bond financing and taxable financing) and the $1,300,000,000 permanent financing, which was also a combination of tax exempt Liberty Bond financing and taxable financing.
