SL Green is under contract to acquire 450 Park Ave. in Midtown Manhattan

SL Green Under Contract for First Office Buy Since 2018

SL Green will make its first office acquisition in four years with the $445-million deal for 450 Park Ave. in Midtown Manhattan. The REIT is under contract to acquire the 33-story tower from Oxford Properties.

Designed by Emery Roth, the Plaza District property is home to several high-end boutique financial services and luxury tenants, including Banco Bradesco, BDT Capital Partners and Oxford Properties. Additionally, the corner retail location will soon be home to Aston Martin’s first-ever Manhattan showroom.

“As the most recognizable thoroughfare in East Midtown, Park Avenue continues to attract top tier tenants and triple-digit rents,” said Harrison Sitomer, SL Green’s CIO. “Given the domestic and international appeal for blue chip assets like this one, we expect significant interest from joint venture partners who will capitalize this deal with us as we grow our investment management platform.”

CBRE’s Darcy Stacom, William Shanahan and Doug Middleton advised SL Green.
