Parmi les prix rapportés pour d'autres cessions à Brooklyn figurent 375 millions de dollars pour un ensemble d'anciens bâtiments des Témoins à Dumbo (Kushner/RFR/LIVWRK, 2013), 345 millions de dollars pour le site du 85 Jay Street (vente conclue le 20 décembre 2016) et 87,5 millions de dollars pour le 107 Columbia Heights (Clipper Realty, 2017) ; un reportage d'AP de décembre 2015 citait une estimation de '1 milliard de dollars ou plus' pour le reste du portefeuille.

“At one point, its portfolio totaled 37 properties in Brooklyn Heights and Dumbo — including a pack of six buildings that sold for $375 million to a team led by Jared Kushner and RFR Realty … $1 billion: The total amount three buildings owned by the Jehovah’s Witnesses — 25-30 Columbia Heights, 124 Columbia Heights … and a giant parking lot at 85 Jay Street in Dumbo — could fetch.”
Also states the headquarters was bought for $3 million in 1969 and gives a (third-party study) estimate of $368 million in property tax exemption over 12 years — treat that figure as an estimate, not a fact.
“A partnership led by Kushner Companies, CIM Group and LIVWRK has finalized a deal for the famed Jehovah’s Witnesses’ Watchtower building in Brooklyn … The deal, valued at $340 million, is one of the largest ever closed in the borough.”
Notes the 733,000 sq ft headquarters at 25-30 Columbia Heights, that RFR dropped out, and that the same partners had earlier bought five other former Witness buildings in Dumbo for $375 million.
“Sale price $87.5 million; buyer Clipper Realty; 107 Columbia Heights, 11-storey, 161 units. Other Watchtower sales mentioned: 85 Jay Street $345 million; Watchtower headquarters $340 million (as summarised by the fetch tool)”
Confirms the 85 Jay Street price which the organisation's own release omitted.
