Sentry Realty acquired 1370 Broadway from Invesco Real Estate in January 2025 for $75.5 million, Commercial Observer reported at the time. The sale price was at a more than $110 million discount from the $186 million Invesco paid for the building in 2014. Kevin Chisholm‘s 60 Guilders is also a part owner of the property.
