Invesco’s New York projects include Dumbo Heights, a 1.2 million-square-foot office complex. The firm went on a buying spree at the beginning of 2013, snapping up assets such as the Mercedes House rental building for $170 million  and paying $175 million for a stake in the Factory Building at 30-30 47th Avenue in Long Island City.

The company sold its stake in the Helmsley Building to RXR Realty and the Blackstone Group in 2015. — Hiten Samtani
