Two stories today about UAE selling off two huge NYC real estate investments

One story is about Abu Dhabi government fund & Tishman Speyer putting the Chrysler Building on the market - Abu Dhabi Investment Council had paid $800 million for a 90% stake
therealdeal.com/2019/01/09/abu…
And a majority stake in 330 Madison Ave owned by the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority is heading to the sales market at pricing expected to reach nearly $1 billion

I don't know that these two sales have any significance, but the size of the deals seems notable and worth keeping an eye on.
