NEW YORK, May 26, 2020 — JLL Capital Markets has completed the sale of 150 East 45th Street, also known as the Lord Memorial Building, in New York’s Midtown East submarket for Children’s Aid.

Habib American Bank acquired the 32,270-square-foot mixed-use property for $28.25 million, or approximately $875 per square foot.

The seven-story 150 East 45th Street was designed by Gibbons, Heidtmann & Salvador and constructed in 1950 as a three-story building for Children’s Aid.

The office building was enlarged to seven stories in the mid-1960s and totals 32,270 square feet, with approximately 5,168 square feet of retail space on the ground floor and around 27,102 square feet of office space on the second through seventh floors.

The office building is located in New York’s Midtown East submarket, just steps from Grand Central Terminal and a few blocks from The United Nations Headquarters at 760 United Nations Plaza.

 The property is currently occupied by Children’s Aid, a nonprofit that will be vacating the space upon the sale of the property.

The mixed-use building was constructed in a unique “T” shape to provide excellent light and air to the space, allowing for a higher percentage of quality, usable space throughout each floor. 

The floorplates average around 5,400 square feet, with protected air secured by an easement with the neighboring property, 712 Third Avenue.
