Empire State Realty Trust plans a $386M New York mixed-use property acquisition.

Empire State Realty Trust, Inc. has signed a purchase agreement to acquire the office and retail property at 555-557 Broadway in New York, NY for an aggregate purchase price of $386 million, subject to customary closing conditions. This represents a sizable single-asset transaction that adds a high-profile mixed-use property to the portfolio.

The agreement is currently a signed purchase contract, and completion depends on those customary closing conditions being met. The disclosure is made via a furnished press release, meaning it is not treated as filed for certain liability provisions, which is a common approach for this type of announcement.

Investors can focus on future disclosures about the closing status of this $386 million acquisition and any additional information on expected returns, financing, or integration that may be provided in subsequent company communications.
