Gyrodyne, LLC has announced a significant financial development, securing a five-year extension on a loan originally amounting to $4.95 million. This extension is vital for the company as it continues to navigate the challenges posed by the current economic landscape.
The loan, initially provided by Signature Bank, is secured by a mortgage on the property located at 1985 Crompond Road, Cortlandt Manor, New York. The extension agreement, effective as of October 10, 2026, allows Gyrodyne to manage its financial obligations more effectively while reaffirming its commitment to the lender.
