Toledano is now reportedly having landlord issues of his own.
Per The Real Deal:
Landlord HRC Corporation is accusing broker-turned-investor Raphael Toledano of failing to pay rent at his Flatiron District office.
HRC filed suit Wednesday, asking a State Supreme Court judge to award it a total of $6.4 million, the amount allegedly due over the entire 10-year lease, plus damages.
In a statement, a Brook Hill spokesperson wrote "We are not in default of the lease."
In a $97 million deal, Toledano and Brook Hill closed on a 16-building East Village portfolio back in the fall.

Times are hard for everyone... We shouldn't feel happy when someone else suffers, it could be one of us next.

ReplyDeleteThis article isn't a cheer for joy- its a notice of irony.
Even if what you said is true, the one suffering here is the landlord for not being paid what was agreed.
This is just another signal that this middleman's business ethics seem unsavory.
That you at 3:10, Raphael? If so, please stop posting anonymously. If it's you, you deserve nary a jot nor tittle of sympathy, you disgusting piece of neighborhood-destroying shit, and I for one hope you are driven out of the real-estate business and wind up behind the wheel of that garbage truck you were born to drive. If it's not you, if it's just some poor deluded fool who has no idea what you have done, what you plan to do, and what you have shown yourself to be capable of, well, a little education is not a bad thing. Hint hint.
ReplyDeleteThe picture of a polished used car salesman ready to sell anyone for the right price.
ReplyDeleteI guess it frees up more money to buy up buildings and harass tenants if you don't pay the rent on your office space.
ReplyDeleteCheck behind the ears. I bet there's a quarter!
ReplyDeleteHe might be a real estate guy, but in this case he's a tenant, and we all know the false accusations that are leveled against tenants by landlords. I for one do not believe the charge.
ReplyDeleteWhat goes around, comes around. Couldn't happen to a nicer guy!
ReplyDeleteHe looks like Jorge Posada LOL.
