Deutsche Asset Management Acquires Boutique Property in Leading New York City Office Corridor
Deutsche Asset Management’s Alternatives and Real Assets (ARA) business today announced that it has acquired 405 Park Avenue
(405 Park) in New York City for one of its investment funds. The property was acquired in conjunction with MRP Realty.
The 17-story, mixed-use office and retail building is situated in New York City’s Plaza District, one of the most coveted office
locations in Manhattan. The Park Avenue market has been the leading office corridor in the city and the allure of the location has
allowed the submarket to maintain its premium status through multiple economic cycles with asking rents higher than other New York
City properties.
“The investment is viewed as an opportunity to create value through the implementation of a renovation program which will
improve 405 Park’s market position as a boutique, Class-A asset,” said Todd Henderson, Head of Real Estate in the Americas for ARA.
“This is a rare opportunity in one of the world’s premier office markets.”
“We’re thrilled to partner with Deutsche Asset Management on this unique investment and look forward to repositioning the
building to trophy quality, in a trophy location,” said Ryan Nelson, Managing Director of MRP Realty.
