NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--CIM Group and Kushner Companies today announced the sale of 2 Rector Street, a 26-story office building in Manhattan’s Financial District.
CIM Group and Kushner Companies acquired the property in 2013. The building was constructed in 1907 and is most recognized for its ornate façade, which has been preserved by the Trust for Architectural Easements (formerly known as the National Architectural Trust).
The building includes both office and ground-level retail space and spans a full block on Rector Street with additional frontage along Trinity Place and Greenwich Street. The property has direct views of the historic Trinity Church and sits just blocks from the transformational World Trade Center development as well as the recently completed retail, restaurant and entertainment hub at Brookfield Place. Additionally, 2 Rector is within steps of several major subway lines, ferry services and PATH trains to New Jersey.
