In 2013, Douglaston settled with its lender U.S. Bank National after refinancing a troubled loan at the rental building, as The Real Deal previously reported. Levine Builders, an affiliate of Douglaston, acquired the building in 2000.

The Torkian Group has been active over the last year. In September, it filed plans to build a 202-unit, 35-story residential tower at the former site of An Icon Parking Garage On West 33rd Street. In October 2014, it bought a 14-story building at 110-112 Greenwich Street for $53 million.
