NEW YORK CITY—After hitting the market 45 days ago, the 366,209-square-foot office building at One Whitehall St. has sold for $183 million. A source with knowledge of the deal confirmed the sellers were the Rudin Family and the building's price was approximately $500 per square foot.

The New York Post has reported that Bill and Eric Rudin, who are cousins, sold the property to pay estate taxes for Jack Rudin, who passed away in 2016. The newspaper also stated that the buyers are Jacob, Joe, Michael and John Chetrit.

The Emery Roth & Sons designed building was constructed in 1962. It occupies a full block on Whitehall St. between Bridge and Stone streets in the Financial District.

Cushman & Wakefield states that Doug Harmon, Adam Spies, Josh King, Adam Doneger, Marcella Fasullo and Kevin Donner negotiated the deal for the sellers. The advisory firm notes that the last office building which sold downtown was One Broadway in November 2018. That building sold for $139.5 million at $763 per square foot. Midtown Equities and Rockwood Capital had purchased it from Stoffel & Partners. The Harmon team also sold that building in November 2018.
