From the June issue: In 1985, Roy March — then a senior vice president at Eastdil Secured — relocated from San Francisco to Los Angeles to arrange the $650 million sale of Arco Plaza, a pair of Art Deco skyscrapers now known as City National Plaza.
March, who was raised by working-class parents in Sacramento in the 1950s and ‘60s (see the Closing), remained based in L.A. until the early ’90s, having launched the company’s office there. In the decade and a half that followed — as he rose to president in 1994 and CEO in 2006 — he barely stayed in one place, bouncing around from his homes and offices in New York, L.A. and London.
