The Crown Building is known for having one of Midtown Manhattan\u2019s most notable rooftops, thanks to its illuminated, striking 416-foot high crown, which is why the name was changed in 1983.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJeff Sutton and GGP\u2019s acquisition, at nearly $4,490 per square foot, is a record setting transaction involving an individual asset,\u201d Michael Lagazo, senior advisor, retail, with Sperry Van Ness, told <i>Commercial Property Executive<\/i>. \u201cGeneral Growth will be able to capitalize on the improving fundamentals of this premium retail corridor attracting global brands and commanding superior rental rates.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Total sales volumes for the retail sector at the portfolio and entity-level remain unchanged since the first quarter of 2014, per Real Capital Analytics in its Q1 2015 report. However, the sales of individual assets posted 16 percent growth from a year earlier.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, Vladislav Doronin\u2019s Capital Group and Michael Shvo are acquiring approximately 290,000 square feet of the building\u2014from the fourth through the 24th floor\u2014for $500 million. The office tower space on these floors will be redeveloped into luxury residential condominiums.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s unbelievable what\u2019s happening on 57<sup>th<\/sup> St. in general,\u201d Joe Koicim, Marcus &amp; Millichap\u2019s vice president of investments, told <i>CPE<\/i>. \u201cIt\u2019s all about timing. The ultra luxury market definitely softened up a little bit and there\u2019s a lot of liquidity out there. If you can buy a trophy asset in that location it\u2019s a no brainer. A lot of people feel the retail alone is worth that much.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>General Growth Properties has teamed with Jeff Sutton on the acquisition of a historic Manhattan building.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":451,"featured_media":1004118051,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[21783,11,21742,10,21747,21749],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1004118049","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-investment","category-midatlantic","category-latest","category-northeast","category-office","category-retail"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v23.4 (Yoast SEO v24.6) -
