Bloomberg previously reported that Cushman & Wakefield was advising Brookfield in soliciting interest in the stake sale.
The 70-story office tower nabbed the biggest financing deal of 2020 when Brookfield and Qatar Investment Authority scored $1.5 billion in September 2020 through the CMBS market. Two mezzanine loans totaling $300 million boosted the financing package to $1.8 billion.
