by John Nelson March 15, 2022

NEW YORK CITY — Blackstone (NYSE: BX) has purchased a 49 percent stake in One Manhattan West, a 67-story office tower in Manhattan totaling 2.1 million square feet. Brookfield (NYSE: BAM) and Qatar Investment Authority sold the minority interest to Blackstone and will retain a 51 percent ownership stake in the skyscraper. The purchase price wasn’t disclosed, but Brookfield says that the deal “values the office building at $2.85 billion,” which translates to Blackstone’s stake totaling just below $1.4 billion. Ben Brown, managing partner of Brookfield, says the competition for the acquisition was intense despite the uneven recovery of New York City’s office market due to COVID-19. “The partial sale of One Manhattan West and the interest we received as soon as we put it on the market are clear validations that the highest quality office properties are seeing enormous demand coming out of the pandemic,” says Brown. “One Manhattan West is home to some of the world’s leading companies, and their continued desire to work from and grow in the building is a promising sign for Manhattan West and prime, well-located office assets broadly.” Located on the corner of Ninth Avenue and 33rd Street, One Manhattan West is leased …

Reno Office Leasing, Development Bounce Back

by Jeff Shaw March 14, 2022

By Patrick Riggs, Senior Advisor, Office, Dickson Commercial Group The leasing market in Reno/Sparks is back on track following a strong end to 2021. The fourth quarter of 2021 concluded with an impressive 145,558 square feet of positive net absorption. This was the third straight quarter of positive net growth. Panasonic Energy stole the headlines in the quarter four with its 95,000-square-foot lease of 645 E. Plumb Lane in Reno’s central submarket. However, demand in the smaller office spaces under 5,000 square feet continues to be the driving force in this rebound. Local and regional companies with more flexibility to maneuver the pandemic were rewarded in 2020 and 2021 by capitalizing on aggressive landlord concessions. We are starting to see these concessions being rolled back as demand continues and vacancy nears pre-pandemic levels. The 2021 Reno sales market bounced back from 2020 with increases across the board in overall volume, price per square foot and number of sales. Both volume and the number of sales nearly doubled year over year. Average sales pricing is coming in at $300 per square foot, while new build-to-suit construction is over $400 per square foot with no slowdown in sight. Owner-users and office investors have been …
