GE Capital Services Corp., a U.S. nonbank financing giant, was at one time planning to purchase Nissan Motor Co.'s head office building, sources close to the companies involved said Tuesday.
However, only a few days before it was to close the deal, GE Capital backed off, saying its New York headquarters would not give approval, the sources said. The Nissan building was eventually sold last week to Mori Building Development Co. and its affiliate Mori Building Sangyo Co.
