60 Wall Street is a 47-storey, 1.6 million square foot, LEED Silver, Class A office tower in the Financial District of Downtown Manhattan.

Adam Gallistel, Regional Head of Americas, GIC, said, “This investment reflects our long-term confidence in Downtown Manhattan which is benefitting from over $30B of recent public and private investments in infrastructure and new construction. We believe 60 Wall Street is one of the top buildings in Downtown and is poised to benefit from the ongoing downtown renaissance. We are also very happy to expand our partnership with Paramount, which is among the leading owners, operators and managers of Class A office properties in the U.S.”

Albert Behler, Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President of Paramount, said, “We are thrilled to enter into this new joint venture with GIC, one of the preeminent owners and operators of real estate in the world.
