Ruben Companies recently consolidated its ownership in the building by buying the fee position on the property for $280 million, as CO first reported. The firm constructed the 650,000-square-foot building between West 53rd and West 54th Streets in 1968 through a ground lease with The Shubert Foundation.

The Singer & Bassuk Organization arranged the loan.

Representatives for Ruben Companies and Prudential were not immediately available for comment. A spokeswoman for Singer & Bassuk declined to comment.
