William Macklowe Company (WMC), one of New York City’s leading real estate companies, is a privately owned, vertically integrated real estate investment company founded by Billy Macklowe. WMC and its principal’s activity at its predecessor firm have accounted for over $15 billion in real estate transactions as one of the more prolific owners, managers, acquirers and developers of prime Manhattan properties over the past 20 years.
WMC has a proven track record of successful real estate investments, with unmatched repeated value creation through its innovative repositioning and asset management. WMC has leased and managed in excess of 15 million square feet of premier office and residential properties in Manhattan, providing a level of service and operations long-recognized as exemplifying the highest standards in its industry.
The company believes that successful and profitable project development is based on sound concepts and design, thoughtful public-process management, financing expertise, efficient construction management, marketing and leasing, “hands-on” asset management and a philosophy of differentiated and attentive service. As such, WMC has developed substantial in-house expertise in each of these areas, and has assembled a team of seasoned professionals, many of whom have been associated with the organization and its predecessor for 15 years or more.
