The Korean Teachers Credit Union and TIAA-CREF are staking a claim on Manhattan’s Socony-Mobil building in the first investment of a $1 billion joint venture.
The partners last week acquired a $175 million loan on the landmark office tower across the street from the Chrysler Building, according to Suzan Amato, head of managed accounts and joint ventures in global real estate at New York-based TIAA-CREF. The financing was part of David Werner’s $900 million purchase of the property this year.
