A partnership of Fisher Brothers and the Witkoff Group sold the site to Shvo for $185 million. Howard Lorber’s investment company New Valley and an unidentified Chinese public company provided some equity, while a Singapore bank along with an Indian private equity firm provided $170 million in debt financing.

Of the 128 proposed condo units, 10 will be full-floor penthouses. The top unit is slated to be a 10,600-square-foot duplex, as previously reported. [REW]Mark Maurer
