SL Green Finalizes Preferred Equity Investment at 245 Park

SL Green Realty Corp., New York City’s largest office landlord, today announced that it has completed the second phase of its preferred equity investment in 245 Park Avenue.

In connection with this modification, SL Green will serve as the building’s property manager, overseeing all leasing and operations.

“SL Green has an unparalleled track record in managing top commercial assets throughout New York City, with a particular emphasis on East Midtown, attracting world-renowned firms and offering best-in-class building management.
