Fosun International, the Chinese real estate investment firm that dropped $725M for One Chase Manhattan Plaza in late 2013, has big plans for its outdoor plaza and retail, the Wall Street Journal reports. In January Fosun changed the name of the landmarked office tower to 28 Liberty, and now plans to spend between $100M and $200M adding 175k SF of new retail space under the building’s open plaza.
