TEI Group tells ELEVATOR WORLD it was contracted by Leeding Builders Group to reposition seven traction elevators — including four extension elevators — at 222 Broadway in Manhattan’s Financial District. The 31-story former Western Electric Building was completed in 1961 and is currently undergoing conversion of its 756,138 ft2 into nearly 800 apartments, The Real Deal (TRD) was among outlets to report. In a December 12, 2024, piece, “Year of the Conversion: Top Project Filings of 2024,” TRD observed that NYC’s 222 Broadway is among the office-to-residential conversions taking four of the top five spots in its tally of the city’s biggest project filings of 2024. A deep discount, the source noted, was the catalyst that propelled Jeff Gural’s GFP Real Estate to partner with TPG Real Estate to buy the property in March 2024 for US$150 million, less than one-third of the price previously paid for it in 2014.
