American Realty Capital New York City REIT Acquires 570 Seventh Avenue in Times Square

NEW YORK, Nov. 10, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- American Realty Capital New York City REIT, Inc. ("NYCR"), a public non-traded real estate investment trust ("REIT"), announced today that it has completed its acquisition of 570 Seventh Avenue, an institutional-quality office property located in Times Square, Manhattan for $170.3 million, exclusive of closing costs.

Happel, President of NYCR. "We continue to be very bullish on the Times Square submarket and this transaction proves once again our capabilities to acquire solid real estate in great locations."
