It mainly acquires, develops, and manages "Class A" office space in Boston, New York City, Washington, D.C., and San Francisco. The company specializes in high-performance workspace and acquired several high-value properties in these markets, including the General Motors Building in New York City for US$2.8 billion, the highest paid for an American office building.[1][2] It also owns two hotel properties.
It was founded in 1970 by Mortimer Zuckerman and Edward H. Linde, and became publicly listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) in June 1997.[3]
