NEW YORK CITY—HFZ Capital Group is said to have purchased the Belnord, a residential rental property on the Upper West Side, for $555 million. Law firm Paul Hastings represented the buyer—HFZ affiliate Belnord Partners LLC—in connection with its acquisition of the Belnord, at 225 W. 86th St., a property Extell Development had owned for more than 20 years, according to the Wall Street Journal.
