The Feil Organization bought the 50-story tower more than a decade ago from the Mendik Company. It was built in 1931 and today is known as the GE Building. Other tenants include UrbanSpace food court and Schnippers. REBNY leases space on the second floor of the building.

In early 2018, Feil landed a $180 million refinancing for the property. [Bloomberg] – Eddie Small
