Norges, Beacon to Buy 1177 Avenue of the Americas for $571 Million

The price underscores a market reset after a $1 billion purchase in 2007 followed by an $860 million valuation in 2021.

Overview

  • Norges Bank Investment Management will take a 95% stake for $542.6 million while Beacon Capital Partners takes 5% and serves as asset manager.
  • Silverstein Properties and CalSTRS are the sellers, exiting the 47-story, roughly 1 million-square-foot Midtown tower they have owned since 2007.
  • The joint venture acquisition was executed in all cash, according to sources, with closing expected in the third quarter.
  • The deal values the property at $571.1 million, marking a steep discount from its prior benchmarks above $1 billion in 2007 and about $860 million in 2021.
  • The building remains an office property with major tenants including Kramer Levin and recent leases such as a 49,000-square-foot deal with Starr.
