HudsonPoint Capital and Sovereign Partners have joined forces to acquire 575 Fifth Avenue in Midtown, Manhattan.
The reporting comes from the Commercial Observer, which could peg the exact price point, but cited sources that said the deal is believed to be worth close to $385 million. That’s around the same price that MetLife paid to take the property off of Sterling Equities’ hands in 2005.
Gary Phillips and Will Silverman of Eastdil Secured, who have been marketing the property, were seeking at least $400 million.
The 544,000 square foot property also consists of some retail space (about 40,000 square feet). Some tenants that recently signed leases at 575 Fifth Avenue include retailers Lacoste(10,000 square feet) and Urban Outfitters (15,345 square feet). A report from The Real Deal in September revealed that the 40-story building was 87 percent occupied.
