Goldman Sachs Sells Headquarters Building

Metropolitan Life Insurance Co. has purchased the 1-million-square-foot New York headquarters building of Goldman Sachs & Co. for $310 million in cash.

Under a long-term lease, Goldman Sachs will continue to occupy and manage the building, which was opened in 1983 at 85 Broad St. in the financial district. It was built on the site of the first New Amsterdam city hall, built as an inn by the Dutch East India Co. in 1641.
