Long Island City's One Court Square Trades for $481M

SL Green Realty Corp. announced this week that One Court Square in Long Island City, NY was sold for approximately $481 million. SL Green took control of the property in a joint venture with JPMorgan when it acquired the real estate investment trust Reckson in 2006. The transaction included the assumption by the purchaser, an unnamed private investor group, of $315 million of existing debt.

The tower was marketed by brokers Douglas Harmon and Adam Spies of Eastdil Secured. The price works out to a hair more than $350 a foot for the 1.4-million-square foot building that is triple-net leased back to Citibank through 2020, but will need a new mortgage in 2015, according to a New York Post article. CoStar Group reports that the 52-story, 1.49 million-square-foot, Class A marquee office building was designed by Skidmore Owings & Merrill and built in 1985 on 1.9 acres, towering above the Northwest Queens County submarket of Long Island.
