It was a story about two office markets in New York this week.
Charles Cohen’s 750 Lexington Avenue received a rating of $ 41 million, a significant decrease compared to the $ 300 million appreciation in 2015. The occupation of the building and the net business income fell, which led to a shielding case.
Cohen’s personal assets have decreased parallel and his problems continue while he is confronted with a separate judgment of $ 187 million from Fortress Capital.
On the other side of the Spectrum, Scott Rechler concluded a $ 1 billion deal for 590 Madison Avenue with a large private equity loan, the largest investment sale of New York City in three years. The Apollo Global Management of Mark Rowan offered $ 785 million in debts to the financing of RXR’s $ 1.08 billion purchase from the Plaza District Office Tower of the State Teachers Retirement System from Ohio.
There was some drama, because Rechler signed a contract to buy the building in May, with a final theadline before 31 July. RXR needed more time to lock up the financing and received an extension of two weeks, for which the company had to pay a fee of $ 5 million that was added to the final purchase price.
In an important moment for the development of New York City, the NYC city council approved the Midtown South Mixed-use plan, with 42 blocks being redeveloped plans.
This is the largest re -use of the city in 20 years, expected to add 9,535 residential units, with 2,842 referred to as affordable. The re -use introduces new residential areas and uses compulsory inclusive homes for the first time in Midtown Manhattan, part of the Manhattan plan by Eric Adams.
On the Upper West Side, UDR and Metlife are looking for a multi-family portfolio of five buildings with 710 units near Columbus Circle for $ 450 million to $ 500 million.
The portfolio is marketed as a resistant to potential rental property because four buildings are the free market and the fifth with a considerable rental potential in the context of the 421A program, an intriguing offer for investors in the midst of concern about the democratic mayor candidate Zohran Mamdani’s promise to freeze the rental prices.
And finally, the YS developers of Yitzchok Schwartz Vooruit with a controversial project on 960 Franklin Avenue in Crown Heights, and plant 300 Condo units with a projected sale of $ 273 million. The seven-storey building will include apartments with one to two bedrooms, with prices that start less than $ 600,000 for a bedroom and reached around $ 1.6 million for a two-bedroom on the top floor.
After years of disputes and rejected proposals, the development comes for the site, including earlier plans by Bruce Eichner for considerably larger towers that were concerned because of concerns about the shadows of the Brooklyn Botanic Garden.
