Reported August 15:

A change in ownership is coming to Roosevelt Island’s 1003 unit Roosevelt Landings building complex currently owned by Urban American.

Brookfield Property Partners has acquired an interest in Urban American’s Putnam Apartment Portfolio (approximately 4,000 units) which includes Roosevelt Landings on Roosevelt Island in a transaction valued in excess of 1 Billion Dollars.

Sources who are familiar with the transaction confirmed that Urban American will continue to own the properties in partnership with Brookfield and will continue to operate and manage the buildings….

… Not known at this time if RIOC’s consent is needed for the ownership change at Roosevelt Landings.

We’ll find our more about the Roosevelt Landings transaction later today. According to the Roosevelt Island Operating Corp ( RIOC )
