Over the past couple of weeks, Moody’s Investors Service has been downgrading more pools of commercial mortgage backed securities. And buried in releases of a couple of those downgrade notices comes word that a loan on famous New York City office building landmark has moved into special servicing.
The building is 666 Fifth Avenue and it was built in 1957 by Tishman Realty & Construction. It at one point had Citigroup as a major tenant, with a “Citi” logo replacing the numbers “666″ on the side of the building. Kushner Properties bought the building for nearly $1.8 billion near the top of the NYC real estate market in late 2006.
And now there appear to be some issues with that loan.
