Global investment manager Invesco Real Estate has bought the majority interest in a Manhattan apartment portfolio valued at nearly $760 million.

The Miami connection? For one, Invesco owns assets locally, including the under-construction Maizon at Brickell rental tower. In addition, Miami attorney Richard Giusto guided the Manhattan deal. The Greenberg Traurig shareholder started representing Invesco 25 years ago and still leads its U.S. real estate deals.
