The purchase follows a $500-million investment in a 64-floor skyscraper of luxury apartments in New York’s Financial District.
Pontegadea has focused on investing in real-estate assets worldwide and in Spain’s energy infrastructure. Just this year, Ortega’s investment vehicle also bought Royal Bank Plaza, a landmark skyscraper in Toronto, and one of the largest single-office buildings in Scotland.
