Boston Properties (BXP) has agreed to acquire an approximately 27% interest in the joint venture that owns 200 Fifth Ave. in Manhattan’s Midtown South for $280.2 million. The 870,000-square-foot office property, owned by a JV of L&L Holding Co. and JPMorgan Asset Management, is currently 93% leased.

BXP expects to close the acquisition in the fourth quarter. The purchase price includes $120.1 million of cash and BXP’s pro rata share of the outstanding loan secured by the property of $160.1 million. The mortgage loan bears interest at 4.34% per annum and matures in November 2028.
