据肖娜·关报道，开发商蒂什曼·斯佩耶以2.35亿美元的价格购得了位于曼哈顿的标志性建筑——克莱斯勒大厦的控制权，从而结束了这座地标性摩天大楼多年来的不确定性局面。
Tishman Speyer purchased control of Manhattan’s iconic Chrysler Building in a $235 million deal, ending years of uncertainty for the landmark skyscraper.
这家总部位于纽约的开发商与由公共部门养老基金投资委员会牵头的多家机构投资者，于周三联合宣布，已与土地所有者库珀联盟学院正式签署了为期150年的土地租赁协议。蒂什曼方面表示，计划对这座装饰艺术风格的大楼进行全面翻新与升级。
The New York-based developer, along with institutional investors led by Public Sector Pension Investment Board, finalized a 150-year ground lease agreement with the land’s owner, Cooper Union, it said in a statement Wednesday. Tishman said it plans to revamp and upgrade the art deco building.
此前，阿比·罗森旗下的RFR Holding于2019年购得这座已有96年历史的建筑，但由于运营成本不断攀升，该公司未能履行相关义务，最终于2024年将大楼控制权交还给了库珀联盟学院。
Aby Rosen’s RFR Holding bought the 96-year-old building in 2019, but fell behind on its obligations as expenses mounted, and it lost control of the property to Cooper Union in 2024.
蒂什曼·斯佩耶计划为该办公大楼目前及未来空置的75%的办公空间配备可立即入驻的配套设施。公司还计划修复大楼的外立面，并更新其机械、电梯、电气及通风系统。此外，他们还计划对以雕有鹰形装饰而闻名的第61层进行改造，打造一个配备户外区域及餐饮服务的豪华休闲厅。
Tishman Speyer plans to outfit 75% of the office tower’s current and upcoming vacancies with ready-to-occupy suites. It said it will restore the facade and upgrade the mechanical, elevator, electrical and air-handling systems. Plans also include renovating the building’s 61st floor — known for its eagle gargoyles — with an upscale lounge, outdoor access and food offerings.
根据公告内容，蒂什曼及其合作伙伴将完全通过自有资金来支付土地租赁费用并推进各项翻新工程。彭博社今年4月曾报道称，蒂什曼当时已接近获得该大厦的控制权。
Tishman and its partners will finance the ground lease and its redevelopment plan with 100% equity, according to the statement. Bloomberg News reported in April that Tishman was close to gaining control of the tower.
这座由威廉·范·阿伦设计的摩天大楼建于1930年，最初为克莱斯勒公司所建，高度达1,046英尺（约318米）。它曾一度是世界最高的摩天大楼，直到不到一年后帝国大厦拔地而起并取代了它的地位。
Built in 1930 for the Chrysler Corp., the 1,046-foot (318-meter) tower designed by William Van Alen was once the world’s tallest skyscraper, until the Empire State Building took over that title less than a year later.
