Among recent Chetrit deals, and there have been several, foremost was the company\u2019s $1.1 billion purchase of New York City\u2019s iconic Sony Building at 550 Madison Ave.  On March 3, The Wall Street Journal reported that the Chetrit Group and two partners have agreed to pay more than $150 million to buy the 1.5-acre site of the five-building former Cabrini Medical Center near Gramercy Park. The site reportedly is likely to be redeveloped with about 400,000 square feet of residential.  On the hotel front, Joseph Chetrit and David Bistricer closed last November on their $81 million purchase of Brooklyn\u2019s Bossert Hotel from the Jehovah\u2019s Witnesses\/Watchtower Bible and Tract Society of New York, which had owned the building since 1983, but reportedly is selling many of its Brooklyn properties. The society had used the building as a community facility, but at last report the new owners were on schedule to reopen the renovated 103-year-old property as an independent 302-room hotel this summer. \"> $1.1 billion purchase of New York City\u2019s iconic Sony Building at 550 Madison Ave.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>On March 3, The Wall Street Journal reported that the Chetrit Group and two partners have agreed to pay more than $150 million to buy the 1.5-acre site of the five-building former Cabrini Medical Center near Gramercy Park.
