Scott Rechler’s RXR Realty is close to entering contract to buy a 39-story office tower at 1285 Sixth Avenue from AXA Financial and JP Morgan Chase for about $1.7 billion, The Real Deal has learned.
The sale, if it goes through, would be one of the largest deals of the year. The 1.61 million-square-foot tower, located between West 51st and 52nd streets, is fully occupied, with Swiss bank UBS AG serving as the 700, 000-square-foot anchor tenant.

AXA Financial put 1285 Sixth Avenue and a 51-story property at 787 Seventh Avenue on the market in August, and is looking to net between $3.5 billion and $4 billion for the pair, sources said. Eastdil Secured’s Douglas Harmon and Adam Spies, who declined to comment, are representing the seller, an equal partnership between AXA Financial and JPMorgan.
