While the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority and the Government of Singapore Investment Corp will own most of the joint venture, Related will manage the tower on the corner of Central Park, the paper said.
As part of the deal, Time Warner would move to a new tower that Related group plans to develop in its sprawling Hudson Yards project on Manhattan's far West Side. Related hasn't completed financing for that building, the financial daily said.
