40 Broad partnership sells office condos, doubling profits

UPDATED: 2:51 p.m., Dec. 10: A partnership between Declaration Management and a group of investors has sold a pair of office condominiums at 40 Broad Street for more than twice what they paid in 2011.

The buyers, construction contractor Constructionomics and law firm Virginia & Ambinder, picked up a total of roughly 27,000 square feet at the formerly distressed 25-story property, filling out the last vacant corner of the 70,000-square-foot building.

Constructionomics purchased a space of nearly 18,000 square feet, while Virginia & Ambinder picked up a 9,200-square-foot space, Crain’s reported. The buyers paid $6.4 million and $3.3 million for their new digs, respectively. Declaration and the affiliated investor group picked up the fourth through seventh floors from Waterbridge Capital for $10 million in 2011.
