So you think demand for Manhattan offices is dying? Investors think those fears are overblown, at least for high-quality properties.
This week money managers said demand was strong for pieces of a massive $3 billion bond backed by a single mortgage tied to a brand new trophy office tower, One Vanderbilt, next to Grand Central Terminal. The bond offering, due to be sold next week, is the largest private-label commercial mortgage security since the Covid pandemic started, and the loan is one of the largest office mortgages to be bundled into a bond in the last decade.
