Dig Deeper: RFR was set to buy 900 Third Avenue from Albert Behler’s Paramount Group for around $400 million. The 36-story office building spans nearly 600,000 SF. Tenants include: Littler, merchant bank Carl Marks & Co., and Goldman Sachs.
Worth Noting: The Midtown office property is 80 percent leased; however, one of its largest tenants, the American division of Japanese cosmetics company Shiseido, recently relocated to 226,000 square feet at 390 Madison Avenue.
