Lehman Brothers
Lehman Brothers was one of the nations largest banks until its collapse in September 2008, which triggered the Great Recession.
Once referred to by The New York Times as the real estate ATM, the Manhattan-based firm that dated to the mid-19th century was before its demise one of the most active players in the New Yorkand nationalproperty market. Lehman partnered with Tishman Speyer on its $22.2 billion takeover of apartment behemoth Archstone-Smith in 2007. Before that, its borrowers included Steven Witkoff on the Woolworth Building in 1998 and Aby Rosen and Michael Fuchs on both Lever House and the Seagram Building. The bank also lent heavily in the equally doomed subprime-mortgage market.
Even after its 2008 collapse, Lehman continued to haunt New York real estate, as it divested itself of holdings and left other institutions skittish about lending too generously. The firm was led by chairman and CEO Dick Fuld when it went out of business. -TA
