A joint venture of Hidrock Realty and Meritage Properties has acquired a 162,000 s/f office building, known as the Mary McFadden Building, at 240 West 35th St., between Seventh and Eighth Aves.
"We are happy to make our first Manhattan acquisition in partnership with Hidrock," said Andrew Nathan, principal at Meritage. "Our firms share a 'tenants-first' mentality and commitment to excellence."
The 17-story building is the fourth purchased by Hidrock Realty in the Herald Sq./Penn Station submarket and is fully occupied, with about 40 tenants.
Property management and leasing services at 240 West 35th Street will be handled by Hidrock Realty.
Steven Klein and Michael Gigliotti of Holliday Fenoglio Fowler, LP served as the brokers on the financing. HSH Nordbank is the lender.

Meritage seeks portfolio-wide value creation via selective property acquisitions, intelligent, hands-on property repositioning, disciplined operating principals and focused asset management.
