一家美国房地产公司于周三宣布收购克莱斯勒大厦，并将对这座主导纽约天际线的装饰艺术风格地标进行全面改造。
A US real estate firm announced on Wednesday it is buying the Chrysler Building and will undertake a vast makeover of the art deco landmark that dominates New York’s skyline.
克莱斯勒大厦于1930年开业，曾是繁荣与现代的象征，其所有权多年来一直存在不确定性。
The Chrysler Building, which was opened in 1930 as a symbol of exuberance and modernity, had faced several years of uncertainty over its ownership.
商业地产商铁狮门（Tishman Speyer）表示，该公司与其他投资者将向该物业注入2.35亿美元，以翻新其老化的室内和室外。
Tishman Speyer, a commercial landlord, said it and other investors will inject US$235 million into the property to refurbish its ageing interior and exterior.
作为150年土地租赁的一部分，他们还将向拥有克莱斯勒大厦所在土地的纽约库珀联盟学院支付租金。
They will also pay rent to Cooper Union, a New York college that owns the land on which the Chrysler Building stands, as part of a 150-year ground lease.
铁狮门对这座拥有77层的著名办公塔楼并不陌生：该开发商于1997年在拍卖会上买下了租赁权，并于2019年完成了对其的全部撤资。
Tishman Speyer is no stranger to the famous 77-story office tower: the developer bought the lease at auction in 1997 and finished fully divesting from it in 2019.
投资者现在计划实施一项密集的计划，以实现机械、电气和空调系统的现代化。
Investors now plan an intensive programme to modernise the mechanical, electrical and air conditioning systems.
第61层的外观以早期克莱斯勒汽车散热器盖的致敬为特色，将被改造成一个可通往户外露台的餐饮空间。其项目还包括修复外墙和抛光其著名的不锈钢皇冠。此举旨在使其能够与这座城市更现代的摩天大楼竞争。
The 61st floor, whose exterior features a tribute to the radiator caps of early Chrysler vehicles, is to be converted into a dining space with access to outdoor terraces. The project also includes restoration of the facade and polishing of its famous stainless steel crown. The goal is to enable it to compete with the more modern skyscrapers in the city.
