高さ世界一のビル完成 ＵＡＥドバイ、８２８メートル
2010.1.5 08:15
このニュースのトピックス：なんでもＮｏ．１
アラブ首長国連邦（ＵＡＥ）ドバイに世界一の高層ビル「ブルジュ・ドバイ」が完成し、ムハンマド首長就任４周年の４日、完成式典が開かれた。高さは８２８メートルと発表され、これまで最高層だった台湾の「ＴＡＩＰＥＩ １０１」（５０８メートル）や建設中の電波塔「東京スカイツリー」（６３４メートル）を大幅に上回った。
ドバイは巨大事業で外国資本を集めてきたが、２００８年に深刻化した金融危機の影響で事業の多くが凍結された。０９年１１月に表面化した政府系企業の信用不安を契機とした「ドバイ・ショック」の余波もあり、ドバイ式開発の「一つの区切り」になる可能性もある。
約１６０階建ての同ビルは０４年に建設を開始。オフィスやマンションのほか、有名デザイナーのジョルジオ・アルマーニ氏が手がける高級ホテルが入居しており、１２４階には展望台も備える。総工費は約１５億ドル（約１４００億円）。（共同）

In 1994 Sears sold the building to Boston-based AEW Capital Management with financing from MetLife. At the time it was one third vacant. By 1995 Sears had completely vacated the building, moving to a new office campus in Hoffman Estates.[citation needed]
In 1997 Toronto-based TrizecHahn Corp (the owner at the time of the CN Tower) purchased the building for $110 million, and assumption of $4 million in liabilities, and a $734 million mortgage.[9][10]
In 2003 Trizec surrendered the building to lender MetLife.[11]
In 2004 Metlife sold it to a group of investors that includes New York investors Joseph Chetrit, Joseph Moinian, Lloyd Goldman, Joseph Cayre and Jeffrey Feil and Skokie-based American Landmark Properties.[12] The quoted price was $840 million with $825 million held in a mortgage.[13]

MetLife Will Sell Sears Tower
by Dean Starkman
From The Wall Street Journal Online
March 12, 2004

Two investors who are part of Larry Silverstein's group that owns the World Trade Center lease are among the buyers of the Sears Tower, which MetLife Inc. agreed to sell Thursday for more than $800 million, according to people familiar with the situation.
Lloyd Goldman and Joseph Cayre, New York investors who are among Mr. Silverstein's backers in the Trade Center, are part of a group that agreed to buy the Chicago landmark, these people said. Another New York investor, Jeffrey Feil, was also a participant in the Sears Tower deal, the people said. Names of the other investors couldn't be learned.
MetLife announced the agreement Thursday, but declined to disclose the buyer or the terms, citing a confidentiality agreement. While the insurance company, based in New York, had previously announced its intention to sell the tower, the speed of the deal and the relatively high price caught the real-estate industry off-guard.
MetLife said it would realize an after-tax gain of $90 million on the deal.
Messrs. Goldman and Carye couldn't be reached. Attempts to reach Mr. Feil were unsuccessful. The names of the three investors were reported Thursday on the Slatin Report, a Web newsletter.
Mr. Goldman led a group including Mr. Cayre that put up most of the $125 million of the equity that Mr. Silverstein, a New York developer, used to buy the 99-year office lease on the Trade Center office portion from the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey. The deal, valued at $3.2 billion, including the Trade Center's retail mall, closed in July 2001, weeks before the September terror attacks that destroyed the complex.
Last month, The Wall Street Journal reported that the Port Authority in December had quietly agreed to return all of the $125 million in equity that Mr. Silverstein and his low-profile group originally invested to buy the leases. The full details of that transaction haven't been released to the public. But the deal effectively eliminated the Silverstein group's capital risk in the project, while allowing the group to retain control of 10 million square feet of office space. The Port Authority has rejected a Wall Street Journal request to review the transaction, citing Mr. Silverstein's ongoing lawsuit against his insurers, led by Swiss Reinsurance Co., over how many claims may be collected as a result of the attacks.

これまでもシルヴァースタインはボロ儲けの極み！！！！！と思っていましたが、
ニューヨーク港湾管理委員会への支払いもチャラにしてもらったとなると、出資ゼロで
あのボロ儲けをしたことになる。
笑いが止まらないはずだわ。
この件の捜査、追及は皆無なんだろうが、誰かできないのでしょうか？
