Item 8.01 Other Events.
250 Livingston Owner LLC (“Borrower”), a subsidiary of Clipper Realty Inc. (the “Company”), entered into the Loan Agreement, dated as of May 31, 2019 (the “Loan Agreement”), with Citi Real Estate Funding Inc., related to a loan in the principal amount of $125.0 million (the “Loan”). The Loan is evidenced by certain promissory notes (the “Notes”) and secured by the Company’s 250 Livingston Street property in Brooklyn, New York (the “Property”). The Note matures on June 6, 2029, bears interest at 3.63% and requires interest-only payments for its entire term. The Company and its operating subsidiary, Clipper Realty L.P., serve as guarantors of certain obligations under the Loan. As previously disclosed, on December 18, 2025, the Borrower received a letter from the special servicer for Wilmington Trust, NA, as trustee for the holders of GSMS 2019-GC40 Mortgage Trust Commercial Pass-Through Certificates (the “Lender”) notifying the Borrower that it is in default under the Note and other Loan documents by virtue of, among other things, its failure to pay all amounts when due thereunder. The notice indicated that the Lender would take all such actions as it deems appropriate to protect its interest in the Loan and to collect the debt thereunder including, without limitation, seeking foreclosure and/or reconveyance of its security under the Loan documents.
On March 25, 2026, the Lender filed a complaint against the Borrower, the Company and the Company’s subsidiary Clipper Realty L.P. due to the Borrower’s defaults under the Note and the other Loan documents. The Plaintiff demanded, among other things that a receiver be appointed to manage the Property and that the Property and the personal property within the Property be sold and the proceeds be applied to the satisfaction of indebtedness evidenced by the Note and other Loan documents.
The Company is in the process of negotiating a Consent and Cooperation Agreement with the Lender for the sale of the Loan, but there can be no assurance that such Consent and Cooperation Agreement will be consummated.
The Company believes that, as of March 31, 2026, the Company owed approximately $6.3 million in interest and default interest, excluding late and other miscellaneous fees.
