In December 2006 the company announced plans to buy 666 Fifth Avenue for $1.8 billion, which is the biggest deal for an individual building in New York City history.
In early 2007, Kushner bought the building at 666 Fifth Avenue, New York City, for US$1.8 billion, the highest price ever paid for a single office building in the United States. Subsequently Kushner shifted focus from his New Jersey real estate operations to the New York market.
