693 Fifth Avenue is an office-and-retail building owned by French billionaire Marc Ladreit de Lacharrière. The structure, which has 20 stories and 105,000 square feet, was built in 1993.
It was originally the property and New York flagship of Japanese retailer Takashimaya. In June 2010, the company closed the store.
Thor Equities, a privately held real estate firm founded in 1986 by Joseph Sitt, acquired 693 Fifth Avenue for $142 million in 2010 after Takashimaya went bankrupt, and spent millions of dollars upgrading the property. Ladreit de Lacharrière, who bought it from Thor for $525 million in 2016, is chair and CEO of Fimalac, a French holding company that owns minority stakes in Fitch Ratings and Warburg Pincus.
