Market Chatter: JPMorgan Faces Obstacles in its Efforts to Acquire Roosevelt Hotel From Pakistan

MT Newswires Live03-06 02:10

JPMorgan Chase (JPM) is facing obstacles in its push to acquire the Roosevelt Hotel in Manhattan as the Pakistani government prefers a redevelopment approach, the Financial Times reported late Wednesday, citing people familiar with the matter.

The financial institution sought to buy the property for over a year to grow its New York presence, but discussions collapsed because the Pakistani government wants to maintain an equity stake and construct a new high-rise via a joint venture, the media outlet reported.

Pakistani authorities are not exploring an outright sale the property and will initiate joint venture talks in March following the selection of a new financial adviser, Financial Times reported, citing Pakistan's privatization commission chair, Muhammad Ali.

JPMorgan Chase and the government of Pakistan did not immediately respond to MT Newswires' request for comment.
