TIAA-CREF

TIAA-CREF is a large pension fund investing for academics, researchers, government workers and others. It was founded in 1918 by Andrew Carnegie, and has since become a major player in the real estate industry. The fund began investing in real estate in 1934 and then broke into direct ownership in New York City real estate at the end of World War II when the fund purchased a storefront in Queens and an office building in Midtown. TIAA-CREFs real estate account has outpaced comparable real estate funds in recent years, averaging roughly 10 percent returns in recent years. It also has bought stakes in various office buildings and high-end retail storefronts (such as Apples 14th Street building). Among TIAA-CREFs premier properties over the years are the famed Seagram Building (which it sold in 2000) and 7 World Trade Center. Its most recent expansion, the 2014 acquisition of Henderson Global Investors, resulted in a huge boost to the pensions real estate holdings to more than $80 billion.
