Vornado Realty Trust is said to be in talks to buy the landmarked, five-story building at 510 Fifth Avenue, at the corner of 43rd Street, according to the Post. The 61,159-foot property, designed by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill and completed in 1954 for Manufacturers Hanover Trust, now belongs to Tahl-Propp Equities, which purchased it for $22 million in 2000 from Chase. There is a current mortgage of $33 million on the property. Chase still has a small branch in the mezzanine and owns the 145,000 feet of excess air rights there. [Post]

Losses attributed to commercial mortgage-backed securities may grow through 2010, according to the latest report from Trepp, a real estate tracking firm, due in part to the reduction in the appraised value of properties with associated loans. “Appraisal reduction is a forward-looking measure of potential future losses,” Paul Mancuso, a vice president with Trepp, said. Unfortunately for investors, many properties have seen significant losses to value over the last few years, which could be particularly rough on those properties whose loans were inked during the boom years. New York and Florida ranked high on the list of states most vulnerable for further CMBS pain, Trepp said.
EAST HARLEM—Work was supposed to begin on the city-spearheaded redevelopment of East 125th Street last year. Is 2010 the charm? The site of the East Harlem Media, Entertainment and Cultural Center is newly active, a tipster writes: “I’ve noticed a lot of new restaurants, grocers, and quality small businesses popping up lately in East Harlem, but what I saw this morning was a real shocker. Work on the East Harlem mixed-use development on 125th and Third Avenue has actually begun. These pics are of the vacant lot on the SE corner. It’s been boarded up, there are hard hats on site, and that tractor is busy digging. Nothing so far on the more substantial work planned for the NE corner, but not surprising since demolition is required there.” Please note that the sign says work will be done on 9/1/11. Let the countdown begin! [CurbedWire Inbox]
FIDI—Is it just us, or have all those Diaper District developments been awfully quiet lately? Here’s the latest regarding former rental 99 John Street, now known as 99 John Deco Lofts. About a month ago, brokerage Nest Seekers International took over sales, and a rep tells 10 contracts have been signed since, lifting the building out of a sales funk. Listings in the building range from a $495k studio to a $3.2 million penthouse. [CurbedWire Inbox]
Baby Phat clothing line executive Kimora Lee Simmons just took a hit out east. Her East Hampton home, which had an original asking price of $800,000, just sold for $650,000. Simmons, who’s been looking to shuffle some real estate around over in the New York-New Jersey region, had originally bought the home for $690,000. But while Simmons might be hurting in her transaction, a recent ranking shows that the overall Hamptons market may be making a comeback for second home buyers.

Downtown Condos at 99 John Studio for Sale
Comfortably spacious with a distinct character all its own, 99 John Deco Lofts rise above the all too common condominiums on the market today. This unique collection of modern loft condominiums located in the heart of the Financial District was originally designed by the same architects who created The Empire State Building. The classic limestone and granite pinstripes on the exterior envelope the newly renovated residences inside to create a timeless essence of old New York and modern downtown living. Find your new home in one of these Financial District apartments… on par with some of the finest New York City condominiums.
99 John provides stylish and impressive amenity spaces for you to entertain family and friends, enjoy some personal time or meet up with your many interesting neighbors. Each space allows you to personalize the experience and make it your own. The roof top dining table provides the perfect setting for a sunset snack and the iPod docking station in the lounge lets you pick your own tunes. The gathering spaces are all yours… whatever your mood. And let\\\’s not forget the 24 hour concierge, parking garage, grocery, drug store and pharmacy all onsite within the building.
Originally built in 1933, 99 John was designed by Shreve, Lamb & Harmon, the architects responsible for The Empire State Building. The resemblance is clear, from the classic limestone and granite façade to the tiered setbacks on higher floors. The old world construction features solid 16+ inch concrete walls, classic architectural details and unique floor plan layouts. Although the building is historic, it has been fully renovated and updated in keeping with modern city living. 99 John Deco Lofts is a fantastic combination of old and new.
