Asking rents at the building run from the high-$70s to the mid-$80s per square foot, depending on the floor.

CBRE’s Timothy Dempsey, Roger Griswold and Munish Viralam represented D.E. Shaw in the deal. Minksoff was repped by JLL’s Paul Glickman, Cynthia Wasserberger, Jonathan Fanuzzi and Diana Biasotti.

The building is currently undergoing a renovation by Gensler Architects, which is redesigning the lobby, the lighting scheme and the outdoor canopies. [NYP]Ariel Stulberg
