Normandy is buying the share from landlord Joe Chetrit, according to Crian’s. AM Property Group is holding on to the other 50 percent stake, according to the site.

Initially, Normandy had been in negotiations to buy 65 Broadway, which is also jointly owned by Joe Chetrit and AM Property Group. However, sources told Crain’s that through a series of intense and complex negotiations, Chetrit wound up buying out AM Property at 65 Broadway to consolidate his interest in the building. In exchange, Chetrit agreed to sell the Maiden Lane buildings. [Crain’s]– Christopher Cameron
