Normandy Real Estate Partners is scooping up the office building at 1370 Broadway on the southwest corner of W. 37th St. for $125 million.

Sources said the 275,000-square-foot property went into contract just before Thanksgiving. The factoring business, Rosenthal & Rosenthal, is the largest tenant with 57,000 square feet.

Douglas Harmon, Adam Spies and Kevin Donner of Eastdil Secured have been marketing the fashion-oriented building on behalf of Sitt Asset Management.

The Sitt family bought the renovated building in December 2003 from SL Green for a mere $57.18 million and upgraded the elevators. The current mortgage is just $60 million.

None of the parties returned calls or e-mails by press time.

Broadway buildings have been the focus of a number of Eastdil-led transactions this year that include the recaps of L&L’s 195 Broadway and 200 Fifth Ave.; the nearly $2 billion recap of 1633 Broadway for Paramount; the bankruptcy sale of 1107 Broadway to the Witkoff Group; and the sale of 1450 Broadway to Zar City for $204 million.

A non-performing note on six multi-family buildings with a face value of $21.7 million is being marketed by Eric Michael Anton and Ron Solarz of Brookfield Financial.

Bids on the Bank of America note are due Dec. 7.

This northern Manhattan package includes 225 apartments in six buildings, half of which don’t have elevators. The addresses are: 672 St. Nicholas Ave.; 35 Ft. Washington Ave.; 82-84 Wadsworth; 25-27 Vermilyea Ave.; 565 W. 139th St.; and 507 W. 170th St.

In 2008, we told you that Perseus Capital, an affiliate of Steve Carter’s Cronus Capital, bought some of those in a seven-building package for $135,384.62 per unit, equating to $142.51 per foot.

Carter is among a group of institutional-style investors who have tried to conquer regulated rentals and failed miserably as they battled poorer tenants in badly maintained buildings with numerous violations.

The parties did not return calls for comment.

SEIU Local 32BJ, which represents doormen, janitors and other building maintenance workers, will hold a strike vote on Thursday, the union confirmed.

Commercial building owners presented their contract proposal last week through the Realty Advisory Board and met yesterday again to discuss it.

The proposal calls for no change in wages or benefits for current employees, and other alterations to work rules and management restrictions.

Sources said the union is most upset about a proposal for a two-tier system for new hires and the owners’ desire to no longer take out contributions for the union’s political action fund from wages, which lowers the take-home pay.

The contract ends on New Year’s Eve for the roughly 20,000 workers in 1,000 area buildings who are the highest paid in the US and who say they are prepared to strike. Stay tuned.
