A representative for RFR couldn’t immediately detail what the company’s plans are for the property.

In recent months, RFR has kept busy both acquiring and shedding commercial properties. In April, an investment group led by Rosen and Jared Kushner agreed to buy two Jehovah’s Witnesses’ buildings in Downtown Brooklyn for $700 million.
