RXR's Capital Solutions Platform is leading a $500 million recapitalization of 55 Broad Street in New York City, the firm announced April 3, 2026. The transaction is being executed alongside Silverstein Properties and Metro Loft Management, and backs the conversion of the office tower into residential units — described as one of the city's most closely watched office-to-residential projects.

Deal Structure and Key Parties

The $500 million recapitalization involves RXR's Capital Solutions Platform as the lead general partner, with Silverstein Properties and Metro Loft Management serving as co-sponsors on the transaction.
