SL Green indicated that the estimated $500M in net proceeds from the proposed sale of 1221 Avenue of the Americas will be re-deployed to provide equity for the proposed acquisitions of 125 Park and 600 Lexington, with the remainder used for corporate debt reduction and additional investments. The REIT was represented by Fried Frank for 1221 Avenue of the Americas and Greenberg Traurig for 125 Park, while CB Richard Ellis' Darcy Stacom and Bill Shanahan represented the seller of 125 Park. |
