$785M of the $1.08bn came as a loan from Apollo - leaving $295M of equity. Of that equity need - Elliot Management and Baupost provided over 90% of it, leaving RXR to put in roughly $20M of cash into this deal (if that). Put that $20M into perspective of what kind of equity check you’d need to build 175 Park
