In 2006, Witkoff acquired a 108,000 square foot office building in Manhattan’s Chelsea neighborhood from an estate managed by an institutional bank. Following acquisition, the firm began an active management plan, including buying out below-market tenants; making capital improvements to the lobby, windows, HVAC, and elevator systems; and re-marketing all spaces at market rate. Witkoff sold 31 West 27th Street in 2009.
