Brookfield Property Partners and California’s Swig Co. bought the leasehold earlier this year, and plan to redevelop the property in 2019 once HBO moves out. The premium cable channel is relocating to Related Companies’ 30 Hudson Yards with its parent company, Time Warner. The move isn’t expected to be impacted by the proposed $85 billion sale of Time Warner to AT&T. The Justice Department moved to block the sale on Monday. [NYP] — Kathryn Brenzel
