Summary:
On December 6, 2010, City Council approved various agreements between the City and FFWO, LLC relating to the mixed-use residential, retail and office development known as 55 West. FFWO subsequently sold the property to TA Realty Associates Fund IX, LP (TA Realty), and as part of such sale, the agreements between the City and FFWO were assigned to TA Realty with the City’s consent. TA Realty is in the process of selling the property and has received several offers, but a specific buyer has not been identified at this time.
