Another American landmark has become the property of the Middle East as Prudential Financial has confirmed the sale of its 75% stake in Manhattan’s Chrysler Building to the Abu Dhabi Investment Council, the commercial arm of the Abu Dhabi government.
According to reports the Abu Dhabi government paid about $800 million for the stake in the building. The remaining 25% belongs to the property firm Tishman Speyer.
