RXR teamed up with Westbrook Partners to buy the nearly 670,000-square-foot building earlier this year for $161 million, as The Real Deal originally reported.

The owners have also awarded JLL the agency to lease the building, in part because of its plan to open an office there. [CO] – Rich Bockmann
