Report: Fund Considering $1B Bid For Barneys

A private equity find is reportedly mulling a $1 billion bid for Barneys New York. The buy – which is being linked to the royal family in Qatar – could be announced within a matter of days.

The bid would be substantially higher than others considered for the Jones New York property.

According to reports, the Qatar government wants to develop a luxury retail sector to drive tourism.

Blacks's Take: Foreign owners may be more interested in keeping current management in place as they make expansion plans.
