New York, NY - Paul Hastings LLP, a leading global law firm, announced today that the firm advised Ivanhoe Cambridge in a deal to purchase the Stuyvesant Town-Peter Cooper Village apartment complex in New York City from owners managed by CWCapital Asset Management LLC. The transaction includes agreements with the City to preserve a portion of the project for affordable housing.
