News Corp. is finally taking over the former Charles Schwab space on the southern plaza of its Rockefeller Center headquarters, where it will likely build out a 9,000-square-foot studio.

News Corp. had always wanted the plaza-level space at 1211 Ave. of the Americas for a studio, but sources said it had allowed both an option and an extension to expire.

News Corp., which owns The Post, declined to comment, and its exact plans for the space are unclear.

The company has a studio that was added on top of the Schwab space and is currently used by “Imus in the Morning” on Fox Business Network and by Fox News in the afternoon. There is also a Fox studio on the northern side of the plaza, where a news ticker wraps the building.

Sources said the building’s owners, Beacon Capital, had been marketing the double-height Schwab space through Cushman & Wakefield with a rent of $525 to $625 a square foot and a total dollar value of about $4 million a year.

A transaction was actually in the works with Emirates Airlines when just last week, at the eleventh hour, News Corp. stepped in to seal its own 15-year deal. Josh Kurlioff, Gene Spiegelman, David Tricarico and Mitch Arkin of C&W represented Beacon and declined comment.

News Corp. was represented by power broker Mary Ann Tighe, the local chairman of CBRE and current chair of the Real Estate Board of New York, along with Ken Rapp and Tim Dempsey, who also declined comment.

The former Schwab space is also being combined with the adjacent FedEx facility behind it, along with some concourse space. FedEx will move into a space along West 47th Street.

The building itself has been on the market through Eastdil Secured, but since Beacon had wanted a hefty $1.9 billion, any transaction will likely be concluded as a recapitalization by bringing in new equity partners.

New York’s new go-to partner, CIM Group, has teamed up with Jared Kushner’s Kushner Cos. to sign a $50 million contract for 200 Lafayette St.

Sources said the duo will put in another $20 million to make the 130,000-square-foot building into state-of-the-art offices.

The hotly contested deal was marketed by Robert Burton of Massey Knakal. The parties either could not be reached or had no comment.

California-based CIM Group has also teamed with other New York developers, including Harry Macklowe, Madison Equities, and Sapir Organization.

The Jackson Group has purchased about 40,000 square feet of retail property along Brooklyn’s 13th Avenue in Borough Park. The stores span three blocks running from 4310-24 to 4506 13th Ave. The price was $22,670,133.

The deal was procured by The Jackson Group’s CEO, Ike Chehebar, and Vice President Jonathan Nachmani directly with longtime family owner Sam Goldstein.

Tenants in the retail spaces include Duane Reade, Fabco Shoes, HSBC, The Children’s Place, Mimi Maternity, and Payless Shoe Source.

Although there are many national tenants, “this is a big repositioning opportunity,” said Nachmani. Rents in the area are about $80 a foot for inline stores and $100-plus for the corners.

The buyers concentrate on retail and earlier this year purchased 407 Bleecker St., which was leased to a Jimmy Choo shoe store that just opened.

While the newly purchased Brooklyn stores are also zoned for residential, there are no plans for anything other than to improve the retail, Nachmani said.

The iconic Fabergé brand will open its first-ever US boutique at 694 Madison Ave. between 62nd and 63rd Streets. The ornamental jewelry line, along with its bejeweled precious eggs, will be installed in an 850-square-foot, ground-floor selling space that will open in the spring. The store also includes a 500-square-foot basement.

Beth Rosen and Zach Beloff of RFK represented the retailer, which was founded in 1842 by Peter Carl Fabergé as the jeweler and goldsmith to the Russian imperial family. The brand ceased production during the 1917 revolution but was relaunched in 2009 in its former Geneva showroom.

The space was previously occupied by Daum, which has closed but will reopen nearby. Jonathan Krivine of Newmark Knight Frank represented Daum in the assignment of the lease. The building owner was represented in-house.

Rosen obtained the assignment to find a small store near Barney’s and Hermes after becoming aware the brand had reinvigorated the ownership and wanted to relaunch. “They knew where they wanted to be,” she said.

While the finances of the transaction are based on Daum’s older lease, current asking rents for Extell’s Carlton House redevelopment nearby are $1,500 a foot.
