The properties are located next to one another separated only by a public street.  The properties are physically connected by way of sky bridges and an underground tunnel.  Functionally, the parking facility exists to provide convenient parking to customers and clients patronizing the connected property.  We confirm that the sale of the condominium interest and Hoyt Street parking facility were consummated in the same agreement and at the same time and were never contemplated as separate sales.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:16px;text-align:left;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;text-decoration:underline;">Condominium Interest</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:16px;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">The Brooklyn store building is currently a retail space and will become a mix of retail and office space.  The term &#8220;condominium interest&#8221; refers to the legal division of the building into two separate real property interests.  Commercial condominiums can be created for any lawful commercial purpose, including mixed uses such as retail and office space.  Under New York law, the only way to sell part of the building is to divide it into condominiums.  However, this transaction differs from the more common condominium development where a developer creates various condominium units and sells them individually in a piecemeal fashion over time.  In this transaction, the purpose of the condominium regime was solely to facilitate the sale of a single portion of the existing building to a single buyer.  The sale resulted in the one-time </font></div><div><br></div><div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div></div><hr style="page-break-after:always"><div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">July 27, 2016</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:32px;text-align:left;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">Page 3</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div></div><div><br></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:16px;text-align:left;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">transfer of all of the Company&#8217;s interest in the building (except the single condominium interest that the Company is permanently retaining to operate the Macy&#8217;s Brooklyn store).</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:16px;text-align:left;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;text-decoration:underline;">Partial Sale</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:16px;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">In response to the Staff&#8217;s comment regarding whether the sale of the properties is a partial sale, the Company has considered the guidance in ASC 360-20-40-46 through ASC 360-20-40-55 addressing the sale of a partial interest in real estate as well as the sale of condominium units.  However, the Company did not apply the partial sale guidance to this transaction as the Company (1) sold the entire condominium interest to one buyer, (2) did not retain an equity interest in the properties sold, and (3) does not have an equity interest in the buyer.  Based on the foregoing, the Company concluded that such guidance is not applicable. </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:16px;text-align:left;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;text-decoration:underline;">Additional Information</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:16px;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">The percentage-of-completion method is being applied in this case not because it is considered a sale of condominium units, but rather because of the Company&#8217;s performance obligation related to the reconstruction described in the initial response dated July 13, 2016.  The Company highlights for the Staff that given this was a one-time transfer of a fully developed interest in the properties, application by analogy of the guidance in ASC 360-20-40-50 for sales of condominium units would also have resulted in the percentage-of-completion method of profit recognition.  That is, the Company advises the Staff that the criteria in ASC 360-20-40-50 would have been met, but the continuing involvement related to reconstruction would still have precluded full profit recognition with profit being deferred as required by ASC 360-20-40-62.  As mentioned in the July 13, 2016 response letter, the Company will clarify the accounting discussed above in future filings and will also continue to disclose the amount of such gains in supplemental disclosure in the Company&#8217;s Management&#8217;s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.  The Company also consulted with KPMG&#8217;s National Office on this accounting matter.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:16px;text-align:center;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">*       *       *       *       *       *       *</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:16px;text-align:left;padding-left:48px;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">The Company hereby acknowledges that:</font></div><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="padding-bottom:16px;font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:10pt;"><tr><td style="width:48px;"></td><td></td></tr><tr><td style="vertical-align:top"><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:12pt;padding-left:0px;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">&#8226;</font></div></td><td style="vertical-align:top;"><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">The Company is responsible for the adequacy and accuracy of the disclosures in the filing;</font></div></td></tr></table><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="padding-bottom:16px;font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:10pt;"><tr><td style="width:48px;"></td><td></td></tr><tr><td style="vertical-align:top"><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:12pt;padding-left:0px;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">&#8226;</font></div></td><td style="vertical-align:top;"><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">Staff comments or changes to disclosure in response to Staff comments do not foreclose the Commission from taking any action with respect to the filing; and</font></div></td></tr></table><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="padding-bottom:16px;font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:10pt;"><tr><td style="width:48px;"></td><td></td></tr><tr><td style="vertical-align:top"><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:12pt;padding-left:0px;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">&#8226;</font></div></td><td style="vertical-align:top;"><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">The Company may not assert the action as a defense in any proceeding initiated by the Commission or any person under the federal securities laws of the United States.</font></div></td></tr></table><div><br></div><div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div></div><hr style="page-break-after:always"><div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">July 27, 2016</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:32px;text-align:left;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">Page 4</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div></div><div><br></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:16px;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">If you have any questions regarding the foregoing, please do not hesitate to contact me at (214) 969-5148, or by facsimile at (214) 969-5100.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;padding-left:312px;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;padding-left:312px;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">Very truly yours,</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;padding-left:312px;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;padding-left:312px;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">/s/ Charles T.
