Billionaires are throwing bids at the soon-to-go public Empire State Building like there's no tomorrow, but another bidder has its eye on a less famous building controlled by ESB owner Malkin Holdings. This bidder put a $710 million offer on 60 East 42nd Street (aka the Lincoln Building), a 55-story tower across from Grand Central . Selling the building would upend the $5 billion real estate trust that Malkin Holdings has proposed. [Crain's; previously]
