After missing out on at least two other downtown office buildings, Billy Macklowe is making his first Lower Manhattan purchase.
The head of William Macklowe Co. is buying 156 William St. and has already signed a hard contract and put down a deposit, The Post has learned.
The pricing is “north of $62.5 million,” according to sources, which would equal more than $250 a foot for the 250,000-square-foot property on the northeast corner of Ann Street.
The building was marketed on behalf of seller Capstone Equities by Eastdil Secured’s Douglas Harmon and Adam Spies, who could not be reached for comment.
Macklowe revealed at a recent real-estate forum that he had made his first downtown purchase but didn’t identify the building. The deal comes after he lost out on 90 Broad and 100 William St. as the pricing went higher.
