The Manhattan College of New York is perhaps a step closer to get a financial fog with the hanging sale of his financial district campus.
MCNY is planning to sell 100,000 square foot 40 rector street campus at the City University of New York for $ 40 million, Bloomberg reported. The seller will use the proceeds of the transaction to exchange part of its outstanding bonds and pay debted debt service.
The sale would break to $ 400 per square foot.
Cuny would use the building as an interim location for the Hunter-Bellevue School of Nursing, while construction continues on a consolidated campus. A spokesperson for the system warned that the negotiations about the purchase are underway. The transaction would also require approval from the bondholders and accreditor from, among others, the bondholders of the Metropolitan College.
The sale would be a victory for the bond holders of the college, because the institution has around $ 60 million in outstanding debts. Municipal bonds for the school were partially protected by a mortgage on the Condominium units on the campus address.
Mcny tapped Cushman and Wakefield in the fall to sell part or the entire building in 40 rector street. The offer was part of a tolerance agreement with investors.
The Commission has three floors and part of the ground floor on 40 rector, next to the Bronx campus, according to a report from Augustus by Fitch Ratings. The Bronx location is on 463 East 149th Street in the South Bronx.
The Rector Street campus of the Metropolitan College contains 16 classrooms, 59 offices, a large library, two computer laboratories, a student lounge and four conference rooms, according to Cushman. It bought the space in 2014.
The school had 480 students during the 2023-24 academic year, according to the Education Department of the State.
Earlier it turned to sell his property to pay off creditors after the pandemic. In 2023, the two floors of an office building wanted to sell in 60 West Street to reduce its debt.
