BlackRock is the worlds largest assets manager as well as a top firm for investment and risk management. Its total assets in spring 2014 totaled more than $4 trillion and its revenue more than $10 billion. The firm has used this windfall to invest in major real estate deals in New York City and elsewhere.
BlackRock most famously partnered with Tishman Speyer on the doomed purchase of the Stuyvesant Town and Peter Cooper Village apartment complexes in 2006 in what was then the biggest property trade ever (the partners eventually defaulted on loans tied to the $5.4 billion purchase). BlackRock has also partnered with Harry Macklowe, Pimco and the California Public Employees Retirement System on New York real estate.
Whats sometimes called the worlds largest investor started modestly enough in 1988 as a wing of investment giant Blackstone. It eventually went independent, and then went public, under current chairman and CEO Leonard Fink. The firm is headquartered in 55 East 52nd Street.
