In February, Jamestown – a major national real estate investor, which owns Chelsea Market, the Flachi Building, 1250 Broadway and a stake in Industry City, among other New York properties – bought a 49 percent stake in 63 Madison Avenue for $271 million, according to CoStar. Tenants there include IBM and the beauty products subscription service Birchbox.

The company also bought the same stake in George Comfort & Sons and Loeb Partners’ 26-story, 750,000-square-foot 200 Madison as part of the same transaction, paying $293 million, also according to CoStar.

The Bank of China has lent money on 63 Madison before. The bank provided $150 million in financing to George Comfort & Sons and Loeb Realty back in 2010. [CO] – Ariel Stulberg
