Eric Michael Anton and Nelson Lee, Directors of the Global Capital Group at Marcus & Millichap, specialize in sourcing and raising foreign capital and played a key role in this successful transaction. The buyer, Titan Golden Property Investor, is a Chinese private equity firm that had previously been the ground lessee of the property. On the other hand, the seller, including the Grossman family and Richard Baker, CEO of Hudson Bay, had owned the property for over sixty years.

This transaction marks the third large-scale ground lease closed by The Anton Group in the past six months. The team also recently sold the leasehold position at the Martinique Hotel in Herald Square and represented ownership of the office building at 580 Broadway in securing a lessee for a newly created 99-year ground lease.
