Partners Group Picks Up Stake In $400M LIC Factory Building
Partners Group and Atlas Capital Group are reportedly buying a stake in the Factory Building on Long Island City in a move that values the property at $400M.
Square Mile Capital and Atlas had together owned a 51% stake in the building at 30-30 47th Ave., The Real Deal reports. Atlas is keeping its share and is joining with Partners Group to buy out Square Mile. Invesco Real Estate holds the other 49%.
Invesco, Atlas Capital and Square Mile bought the building in 2013 as a bankruptcy sale. At the time it was valued at $102M, according to TRD. The building spans 1M SF and features both office and retail. Its tenants include Macy’s, Madewell and Polo Ralph Lauren.
