"Our significant investment of approximately €375 million ($420 million) exemplifies Allianz Real Estate's strategy to increase its exposure to the 24/7 global cities," said Francois Trausch, chief executive officer of Allianz Real Estate worldwide.

"This opportunity reflects the goal of our U.S. team to pursue high-quality, long-term investments with best-in-class partners," said Christoph Donner, chief executive officer, Allianz Real Estate of America. "But the attractive-ness of this investment goes beyond the financial dimension – being part of an exciting new neighborhood is a source of great pride."

Hudson Yards is transforming Manhattan's west side and creating an en-tirely new, vibrant neighborhood. It is the largest development in New York City since Rockefeller Center was built in the 1930s and is the larg-est private real estate development in U.S. history. The site is a planned mixed-use neighborhood featuring more than 1,6 million square meters (ca. 17 million square feet) of commercial and residential space, more than 100 shops, a collection of restaurants, approximately 4,000 resi-dences, a unique cultural space, 57.000 square meters (14 acres) of pub-lic open space and a 750-seat public school. It is anticipated that more than 24 million people will visit the area every year.

Allianz is one of the world's most respected real estate inves-tors and its commitment further evidences the value we have created through our focus on best-in-class architecture and planning and meticulous execution."
