SL Green to Build New Tower at 126-132 Nassau Street

NEW YORK — SL Green Realty Corp. announced that it has entered into a 99-year ground lease of 126-132 Nassau Street, located at the corner of Nassau and Beekman Streets in downtown Manhattan.

SL Green plans to develop a new 215,000-square-foot building on the site and has secured an unamed user for a long term net ground lease condominium of the building. The existing 98,412-square-foot office building will be demolished to make way for the new tower. Terms of the deal weren’t released.

“We are thrilled to announce our fourth ground up construction project in Lower Manhattan, adding to our strong history of successful downtown projects at 180 Broadway, 33 Beekman, and 185 Broadway,” said Brett Herschenfeld, Managing Director of SL Green. “Lower Manhattan has become a global destination, serving as a hub of commercial, residential and retail activity, and we’re confident this development will build upon the momentum that downtown continues to enjoy.”

David Falk and Kyle Ciminelli of Newmark Knight Frank represented the buyer on the 30-year leasehold condominium. Ross Berkowitz and Ariel Schuster of Newmark Knight Frank consulted on the transaction.

At the end of 2019, SL Green held interests in 97 buildings totaling 44.0 million square feet. This included ownership interests in 26.5 million square feet of Manhattan buildings and 16.4 million square feet securing debt and preferred equity investments.
