(Bloomberg) -- A Times Square retail property owned by Kushner Cos., the family company of former presidential adviser Jared Kushner, is a step closer to foreclosure, according to loan documents.

Representatives for Kushner Cos. didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.
The building at 229 West 43rd Street, which used to house the New York Times, is only about half occupied. It was appraised at $92.5 million in 2020 and counts Bowlmor and Guitar Center as tenants.
Deutsche Bank AG originated a $285 million loan in 2016 to refinance six floors of retail space in the former New York Times building. The property also had $85 million in mezzanine debt from SL Green Realty Corp. and Paramount Group Inc.
The property was running into trouble even before the pandemic turned Times Square into a ghost town. Rent income was falling short of interest payments on the debt back in November 2019.
A month later, the loan was transferred to special servicing “due to imminent monetary default,” according to Wells Fargo.
