Since 1978, Tishman Speyer has acquired, developed and operated over 325 projects totaling over approximately 116 million square feet and more than 92,000 residential units, and a property portfolio of US$50.2 billion in total value across the United States, Europe, Latin America and Asia, including signature properties such as New York's Rockefeller Center and, Chrysler Center, Berlin's Sony Center and Torre Norte in São Paolo, Brazil.

Tishman Speyer's vertical integration is the key to its success. Our multi-disciplinary teams enable us to envision a broader array of possibilities than others. We then have the skills and experience in-house - acquisitions and development; design and construction; property management; investment management; leasing; tax and risk management -- to realize these possibilities, adding value to every aspect of a property or project.

Our vertically integrated approach combined with deep market knowledge has enabled us to complete some of the most complex transactions in commercial real estate history. And, in the process, we have transformed many of the world's great properties into assets of even greater value:
