Newmark Grubb Knight Frank’s Hal Stein, Andrew Peretz, Adam Leshowitz and Todd Stracci will head up the property’s leasing efforts, while Swig Equities will stay on as the day-to-day management.

Savanna picked up the mortgage on Swig’s nearby 5 Hanover Square in 2010 for $51.5 million, taking control of the property while the previous owner stayed on as property manager, as is the arrangement with 110 William Street. — Julie Strickland
