According to reports, New Jesey-based Vornado Realty trust has advanced Reschke at least part of the $61 million for the purchase. Vornado is closely linked with Prime through Vornado's $65-million financing of Prime Group's Dearborn Center development as well as Vornado's $35-million purchase of 33 N. Dearborn from Prime, which was announced last week.
