BOSTON (AP) – Two companies have landed a real estate bargain: Boston’s tallest skyscraper.
The John Hancock Tower was bought Tuesday for about $660 million at a foreclosure auction in New York City.
That’s about half of what it cost a little more than two years ago.
The 60-story building was acquired by a partnership between Normandy Real Estate Partners and Five Mile Capital Partners.
World-renowned architect I.M. Pei designed the building. It was sold after Broadway Partners defaulted on loans used to buy it in late 2006.
