Tishman Speyer's property portfolio also includes the Chrysler Building, the New York Times building and Rockefeller Center. Cushman & Wakefield exclusively represented MetLife in the transaction, which was managed by Stephen Jones, executive managing director, in conjunction with the New York Capital Markets Group team of executive directors Richard Baxter, Scott Latham, Jon Caplan and Ron Cohen.
"The offering attracted interest from a significant number of prominent and well-financed investors," Latham says. The campaign for the MetLife building, from engagement to closing, was accomplished in less than 12 weeks.
