Designed by architect Philip Johnson in 1986, the 34-story building has a unique elliptical profile, separating itself architecturally from other quadrilateral towers in the area. At 453 feet tall, the skyscraper sits across from the Citigroup Center and is one of the most recognizable buildings in Manhattan.<\/p>\n<p>According to Peck, the money from the loan will be utilized to retire the existing loan and cover closing costs.\u00a0HFF previously advised on the sale of the building\u2019s fee position to the borrower in 2016.<\/p>\n<p>Argentine real estate company IRSA Inversiones y Representaciones SA and a group of investors owns the Lipstick Building through a long-term ground lease and have an option to buy the land from Ceruzzi in 2020 for\u00a0$520\u00a0million.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>HFF arranged the first mortgage from an affiliate of Credit Suisse on behalf of Ceruzzi Holdings LLC and SMI USA.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":451,"featured_media":1004172571,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[21808,21825,1600,21742,10,21747],"tags":[34954,32792,34956,34955],"class_list":["post-1004172547","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-featured","category-finance","category-new-york","category-latest","category-northeast","category-office","tag-ceruzzi-holdings","tag-hff","tag-lipstick-building","tag-smi-usa"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v23.4 (Yoast SEO v24.6) -
