Brookfield Property Partners and Blackstone are weighing a sale of One Liberty Plaza in Lower Manhattan’s Financial District, Crain’s New York Business reported. They’re seeking between $1.6 billion and $1.7 billion for the 2.3-million-square-foot office tower, according to sources said to be familiar with the discussions.
A sale of the property would probably rank among New York’s largest this year. Manhattan’s biggest office transaction in 2019 was Related Companies’ $2.2-billion acquisition of the WarnerMedia office condominium at 30 Hudson Yards, although the largest full-building trade—the acquisition of 711 Fifth Ave. by Shvo and Bilgili Group—came in at less than $1 billion.
Blackstone acquired a 49% stake in One Liberty Plaza from Brookfield in late 2017. The deal valued the tower at $1.5 billion, according to Real Capital Analytics. Brookfield acquired the 47-year-old property in 1996 as part of a bankruptcy sale.
