A representative for Meadow Partners, the building’s owner, did not return a call seeking comment. A spokesperson for Rudder Property Group, the company marketing the building, declined to comment.

Meadow purchased the building from Vornado Realty Group in 2013 for $200 million. The real estate firm recently converted the six-story building into office-and-retail condominiums. The building, which was built in 1965, spans a total of 471,000 square feet.

It’s not clear if System plans to buy up additional units in the office building. A representative for the company was not immediately available to discuss the sale.
