Federated Department Stores Inc. (Cincinnati) has finalized an agreement to sell its downtown Boston Filene's store to Vornado Realty Trust (New York) for approximately $100 million.
The 656,000-square-foot Filene's store opened in downtown Boston in 1890. It’s one of the duplicate locations Federated previously announced for divestiture as a result of its acquisition of The May Department Stores Co. (St. Louis) last year. There is a Macy’s store in Downtown Crossing, a newer shopping and commercial area in the heart of the city.
With this agreement, Federated now has announced buyers for 57 of its 80 duplicate locations.
