• RFR Holding has lost ownership of 285 Madison Avenue to Daol Asset Management after failing to bid at an auction. The property, which was reappraised at $300 million, has been a financial burden for RFR, with $419 million in debt and multiple defaults leading to foreclosure actions. The firm had previously requested extensions on its loans but ultimately could not recover in a challenging capital market environment, resulting in Daol's acquisition of the asset.

• The auction process was expedited by Daol's UCC foreclosure filing, which allowed for a quicker resolution compared to the judicial foreclosure initiated by bondholders. Despite the building being 96% leased and generating significant revenue, RFR's overleveraged position and inability to service its debt have severely impacted its financial standing. This situation reflects broader trends in the commercial real estate market, particularly for older office buildings in high-rate environments.
