History

The site used to be occupied by the second Grand Central Palace exhibition hall, which was demolished in 1964 to make way for 245 Park Avenue.[3] The building was previously named for American Tobacco Company, American Brands, and Bear Stearns at various points in its history.

In 1987, Bear Stearns signed a lease for more than Script error: No such module "convert". of space as its new headquarters and moved 3,000 of the company's employees into the building.[4]

In November 2000, JPMorgan Chase leased Script error: No such module "convert". in the building, creating a corporate campus with the company's nearby headquarters at 270 Park Avenue.[5]

On March 20, 2017, Chinese conglomerate HNA Group announced a deal to acquire the building for $2.21 billion from Brookfield Property Partners and the New York State Teachers’ Retirement System, one of the highest prices ever paid for a New York skyscraper.[6] HNA financed the acquisition with a $1.75 billion loan from a consortium of lenders including J.P. Morgan Chase, Deutsche Bank, Barclays, Natixis and Societe Generale in addition to $568 million of mezzanine financing.[7] CBRE Group and Cooper-Horowitz made the deal for the loan, acting as commercial mortgage brokers.[8]

Following financial difficulties at HNA in 2018, the conglomerate committed to selling off $22 billion in stocks and real estate assets. Part of this commitment included the sale of a $148 million stake in 245 Park Avenue to office REIT SL Green, which was also appointed as property manager and leasing manager.[9] SL Green took over the entire property in late 2022 after HNA went bankrupt.[10][11] The next year, Japanese developer Mori Trust agreed to buy a 49.9% interest in the building from SL Green.[12][13] By mid-2024, the owners were renovating the building and adding a golf lounge, restaurant, wellness center, and communal rooftop space;[14] this renovation was designed by Kohn Pedersen Fox and Fogarty Finger.[15] At the time, the building's mortgage was classified as a "loan of concern" because two large tenants were moving out.[16] SL Green also announced plans to renovate the building's plaza in late 2024.[15][17]
