In addition to consolidating existing debt, a portion of the proceeds will be used to advance the repositioning, specifically to modernize the lobby and building systems, as well as to activate the outdoor amenity space and fund leasing costs. The 885,000-square-foot building was originally constructed in 2001 as the North American headquarters of Reuters.
