Taconic bought the 64,000-square-foot building along with Clarion Partners in 2005 for about $37 million. Asset manager TIAA-CREF bought Clarion’s stake last year in a transaction that valued the property at $168 million, or $2,700 per square foot.

The building is 100 percent leased. Apple occupies about 45,000 square feet. Other tenants include Hugo Boss, The Kooples and Raptor Capital Management. [CPE Executive]Ariel Stulberg
