Christina K. Firth signed the trust deed as manager of FC Highlands.

Formation Capital executive Michael Jones told The Daily News at the time of the purchase in 2009 that the 30-year-old building, which underwent some renovations in 2005, was in good shape, although some improvements were planned.

“We’re excited to have closed on the property,” he said at the time. “We think it’s a wonderful building and it’s a nice addition to our portfolio.”

The transaction also included an assignment of leases and rents from FC Highlands to Midcap Funding.
