The sale of the 1.2-million-sf, two-building property comes less than a year after Istithmar purchased the property from Boston Properties. As GlobeSt.com reported at the time of the June sale, Istithmar paid $1.2 billion, gaining a 30-story building and a 43-story building that compose the class A office 280 Park Ave.
For the current transaction, a sale price of $1.2 billion would represent a loss for Dubai-based Istithmar, due to traditional closing fees that undoubtedly took the original deal above the $1.2 billion price point. A request for confirmation and comment from Istithmar went unanswered by press time. A Broadway spokesperson tells GlobeSt.com, "[Broadway's] policy is typically not to speak about deals that have not closed."
The building was built in 1961 and split into the east tower and west tower seven years later. Major tenants at the Boston Properties' managed site include Deutsche Bank, the National Football League, Oppenheimer and AG Edwards. CB Richard Ellis brokers Peter Turchin, Gregg Rothkin and Alan Wildes handle leasing within the 97% occupied building. According to CBRE's website, the asking rental rate for the remaining 37,082 sf is $110 per sf. A CBRE spokesperson tells GlobeSt.com the firm is not handling the building sale.
