10 Biggest Real Estate Deals In American History


10 biggest real estate deals in American history:

1. Stuyvesant Town -- $5.3 billion
Originally developed by Metlife in the 1940s, Stuyvesant Town was a rent-stabilized housing complex for middle-class New Yorkers for decades. In 2007, the Lower East Side complex of 110 14-story buildings became the subject of the largest real estate transaction in U.S. history when a syndicate of investors, headed by Tishman Speyer and JV Blackrock Realty, bought the complex with the intention of turning "Stuy Town" into an upscale, mid- to high-rent development. A floundering economy and the burst real estate bubble in 2008 dealt a crushing blow to Tishman's venture. In January of this year, the owners, loaded with debt, turned the property over to creditors.

2. GM Building -- $2.8 billion

Purchased by Boston Properties, Goldman Sachs (GS), and Meraas Capital in 2008, the General Motors Building went for an astounding $2.8 billion after the credit crisis forced the Macklowe Organization to sell. This makes the acquisition the single most expensive purchases of an individual building ever. It also speaks to the importance of prime real estate: The 50-story building only takes up 0.32 acres.

3. Rockefeller Center -- $1.85 billion

In December 2000, Rockefeller Center, the building complex that's home to Radio City Music Hall, the GE Building, the Bank of America Building and several other high-profile properties, was sold by Goldman Sachs and Tishman-Speyer to Lester Crown for $1.85 billion. The oldest site on our list, Rockefeller Center was built between 1930 and 1939 by John D. Rockefeller Jr., scion of the wealthiest man in American history. A popular tourist destination, it's now a National Historic Landmark. Goldman Sachs Group bought the complex in 1996 for $900 million. Encompassing 22 acres, including its famed ice skating rink, the complex takes up the second-largest land area after Stuyvesant Town.

4. 666 5th Ave. -- $1.8 billion

When purchased in January 2007, for $1.8 billion, 666 Fifth Ave. was the most expensive single office building. The scale of the deal is even more impressive considering that only seven years prior, the building had been bought by Tishman Speyer for $518 million. Located in the Midtown West portion of Manhattan, it's now home to a number of retail stores, such as Brooks Brothers and the NBA Store, large international law firms and, of course, Citigroup (C), whose logo is prominently displayed on the building's side.

5. Worldwide Plaza -- $1.74 billion

Worldwide Plaza sold for $1.74 billion in February 2007 to Macklowe Properties. Some two-and-a-half years later, however, in July 2009, Deutsche Bank sold the same property for about $600 million. This represents a drop in property value of about 65%, demonstrating that even iconic New York real estate is subject to dramatic market fluctuations.

6. MetLife Building -- $1.72 billion

In 2005, MetLife sold the building bearing its name to real estate giant Tishman Speyer for $1.72 billion -- at the time, the most expensive real estate purchase in history. The 58-story building, formerly known as the Pan Am building, was built in 1963 and served as the airline's headquarters until MetLife bought it in 1981, and Pan Am moved its operations to Miami. The airline collapsed shortly after. The building's iconic MetLife sign was the last of its kind to be built before a city ordinance disallowed corporate signage on the tops of large buildings.

7. Travelers Complex -- $1.58 billion

In December 2007, when Citigroup was looking to reduce its real estate exposure, it sold this two-building complex in the Tribeca area to investment group SL Green for $1.58 billion. Built in 1987, the buildings at 388 and 390 Greenwich, are 40 and 10 stories, respectively. The complex is located 10 blocks from the former World Trade Center site. On Sept. 11, 2001, the main building was used as a triage center for the wounded.

8. News Corp. Building -- $1.52 billion

At 1211 Avenue of the Americas, the News Corp. Building was sold to Beacon Capital Partners and Lehman Brothers for $1.52 billion in 2006. The seller's broker for this deal was Eastdil Secured, the same power broker that oversaw two other property transactions on our list. The building now contains the offices of many prominent companies, including the many divisions of News Corp. (NWS), law firm Ropes & Gray, Wachovia, and JPMorgan (JPM).

9. 1301 Avenue of the Americas -- $1.46 billion

In August 2008, Paramount Group and Allianz Life Insurance purchased the 46-story building at 1301 Avenue of the Americas. At the time, it was called the Crédit Lyonnais Building, named after the French bank, its primary tenant. In February of this year, however, Calyon, which acquired Crédit Lyonnais in 2003, changed its name to Crédit Agricole. Since then, the building has also been referred to as the Calyon Building or the "Crédit Agricole Building. Prior to the acquisition, it was the headquarters of PricewaterhouseCoopers, before the accounting and consulting firm moved to its current home at 300 Madison Ave. in 2004.

10. Five Times Square (The Ernst & Young Tower) -- $1.28 billion

By far the most modern building on our list, 5 Times Square was built in 2002 for Ernst and Young. In 2007, owner Boston Properties sold it to AVR Realty for $1.28 billion.The building, which features a sloping facade, has no 90 degree angles. It houses many retailers and is a valuable tourist shopping destination.

Sylvester Stallone’s custom built ‘Expendables’ F-100 sold.


This weekend in Arizona, at a celebrity Barrett-Jackson car auction, the custom built '55 F100 that Sly drives in the film sold for a whopping $132,000, well worth it if you ask me.

This wasn't the only celebrity vehicle to be sold at the auction, Evel Knievel's famous truck was sold, a few cars once owned by Bret Michaels, Elvis Presley, and Alice Cooper's custom Camaro, were all up for auction as well.

Here's some background on the truck for those who don't know.

It's a 1956 Ford F-100 fully customized into a 1955 by the very talented crew over at West Coast Customs, it has a brand new 347 Edelbrock engine, B&M transmission.

Brand new Lexani 20" rims with low profile tires.

Full Gibson exhaust system.

Some of the more interesting additions would be the two secret compartments housing movie weapon props, one under the the center of the dash, which holds a .45 prop pistol, and one at the back of the center console that hides an MP9 submachine gun prop.

The CEO of West Coast Customs said this this about the truck.

"Stallone needed three '55 F-100's, but they're so rare that we couldn't find them in time," added Friedlinghaus. "So we started with three pretty sad 1956 models and worked 24-7 to make them look like a custom '55. "
