  • Blackstone, Goldman Lead $1.25B Bet on City Offices
    July 26, 2021 Link to Article Blackstone, Goldman lead $1.25B bet on city offices Blackstone Group Inc. and Goldman Sachs Group Inc. are leading financing for the $1.25 billion redevelopment of a 19th-century warehouse on Manhattan’s west side into a 21st-century office complex. The financing marks the largest construction deal so far this year in Manhattan, according to a statement Friday by L&L Holding Co. and Columbia Property Trust, developers of the Terminal Warehouse, which occupies an entire block in the West Chelsea neighborhood. The project is moving ahead without a major tenant at an uncertain time for New York’s office market. The city has a record amount of space available, and employees have been slow to return from pandemic work-from-home arrangements. Terminal Warehouse is south of Hudson Yards, where new skyscrapers have drawn major financial and technology tenants. “Our ability to secure financing in this current environment is both a testament to the merits of this project as well as a show of the investment community’s continued faith in the future of New York City’s economy,” Robert Lapidus, L&L’s chief investment officer, said in the statement. Blackstone’s real estate debt platform led the financing, with Goldman and KKR & Co. participating in $974 million of senior debt. Oaktree Capital Management led $274 million in junior mezzanine financing in partnership with Paramount Group. “This property is rich in history and we are excited to be part of another high-quality office addition to the growing Hudson Yards and broader west side area of Manhattan,” Michael Eglit, managing director in Blackstone’s Real Estate Debt Strategies group, said in an email.

    CASH & BANKING LPL Financial Insured Cash Account (ICA): Current Priority Bank List Retail Accounts Effective May 07, 2021 ABOUT THE PRIORITY BANK LIST (PBL) The Priority Bank List is a list of available Banks into which your funds may be deposited and is available from your financial advisor and on lplfinancial.lpl.com/disclosures. The Banks appear in columns by state or region. In the column under your applicable state or region are multiple Banks in the order in which your funds will be allocated. The last banks on the list are “Excess Banks” and are noted as such. For all other banks on the PBL except these Excess Banks, LPL Financial as your agent will ensure that your ICA sweep deposits do not exceed the $250,000 (or $500,000 for joint accounts) FDIC-defined ownership category limits. For the Excess Banks, your funds may be deposited without consideration of the $250,000 and $500,000 limits. However, this will only be done when there is insufficient capacity in other Banks on the PBL to take your assets and not break through the $250,000 and $500,000 limits and is meant to be temporary in nature. You may not change the order of the Banks on the PBL. However, you may, at any time, designate a Bank as ineligible to receive your funds. This will result in your funds not being deposited into this bank or if already there, we will remove your funds from that Bank and designate the Bank as ineligible to receive future deposits. Unless you direct us to place your funds in a different investment, your funds from eliminated Banks will be deposited at the first available Bank set forth on the Priority Bank List, as amended by you.

  • Seeking an Alternative
    Seeking an Alternative Understanding and Allocating to Alternative Investments Alts Lab Seeking an Alternative: Understanding and Allocating to Alternative Investments 3 Seeking an Alternative Understanding and Allocating to Alternative Investments Summary In this paper we look at some of the forces that may be inclining individual investors to incorporate “alternative” investments in their portfolio, and then offer some general allocation suggestions on how they may do so. We think there are several compelling reasons why investors are considering “alts.” While the century is young we’ve already had two severe market declines, and two long, painful recoveries. The result is a world with lower growth, a good deal of uncertainty, and the feeling that traditional investment options alone may not suffice. We believe some investors are seeking alternative investments to find yield, some for higher returns, or protection from rising rates, or a haven against market volatility—or any combination of the above. Unfortunately there’s no standard approach or “style box” to guide investors on how to reach their goals with alternative investments. We offer up a framework to address this gap. Seeking an Alternative: Understanding and Allocating to Alternative Investments 5 Investor PTSD: Laboring to Forget the Turbulent “Aughts” Let’s look at some of the realities of investing today The display shows that, for U.S. equities, the which are driving investors to consider “alts.” number of days when markets moved 3% or more reached a peak of 95 in the last decade First, volatility has changed—and has changed (the tall grey bar), versus 81 episodes in us.
