In January of 2014, YIMBY brought you news that 45 Broad Street, in the Financial District, was placed on the market. Now the property is in contract, and Madison Equities, partnering with AMS Acquisitions, is the buyer. The price — expected to be north of $100 million — has not been disclosed. The site has 265,000 square feet of development rights, and a 62-story Nobu Hotel was planned prior to the 2008 financial crisis.
