China's Anbang Insurance Group said it is not investing in a flagship Manhattan office tower owned by the family of Jared Kushner, U.S. President Donald Trump's son-in-law and senior adviser.
Anbang was named in a Bloomberg report on Monday as a possible investor in a $4 billion deal to buy the 41-floor building at 666 Fifth Avenue, according to a copy of the agreement that was being circulated to attract additional investors.
"The information about Anbang investment in 666 Fifth Avenue is not correct. There is no investment from Anbang for this deal," a spokesman for Anbang said in a statement on Tuesday.
