Today’s your lucky day! ‘Cause as of last night, the guy who was supposed to buy the building currently inhabited by RBS Greenwich Capital (though they’re moving people to the new place in Stamford like now) on Steamboat Road hadn’t done anything about finalizing the purchase. Supposedly he may walk away from the $20 million deposit and then this baby can be yours. Apparently she’s a fixer-upper (GC tenants say the place is “quite grubby after 14 years of packin ‘em in,” with bathrooms “reminiscent of the Port Authority”) but there’s 350 feet of dock space and a big ass parking lot for all the entertaining you’ll be doing in the new pad. Interested buyers (and we can think of one very worthy one in particular) should contact General Re, or just go through us and we’ll quote you a finder’s fee.

bathroom’s like the port authority? sign me up.
Who supposedly was going to take it?
@- George Constantin, Heritage Realty.
H’mm you should also buy the building that contains the AQR main-office a 100 feet away. Wouldn’t be too difficult to throw those guys on to the streets of Greenwich.
true story:
The bomb and anthrax scares at that office building got old real quickly.
The guy wanted to fix it up and rent it out for $150/square foot, and there’s “For Lease” signs up all over Greenwich. Better to walk away than to fix it up and lose a bundle.
Plus, it’s an extra $20 mil for Warren B.’s walking-around money.
a place to park big asses ! holla
@7: best laugh I had all day.
the $20mil deposit should keep that commercial paper safe til… next month!
they now refer to themselves as RBS securities
cliff asness is in.

RBS on the left. AQR on the right.
Favorite movie: Dr. Zhivago – that and the hair line say his wife fills out his profile page. No wonder he needed a pad.
Fred Goodwin probably called in the bomb threat.
AQR will expand into that office space and more than double their ability to produce TPS reports.
Just Sayin’
$150/sqft in Greenwich? HAHA, good luck getting even half that.
What’s with the airbrushed picture of that guy anyway? Looks like he’s made of plastic.
@12: Wrong. AQR is on the right, but that is Greenwich Plaza, at the Greenwich RR station. RBS is on the water, on perpendicular Steamboat Road, pic below:

@16: seriously. I’ve seen A-building stuff now at $50-$60/sq ft, going begging. Not like Tontine is expanding any time soon. Cliffy desperate to sublet some of his Greenwich Plaza space, and has been for some time.
@18- can Tontine even afford the office space they have anymore?
@19: Tontine can’t even afford the toilet paper they have anymore. -91%, and Madoff is goign to be returning 10%, so you would have done better giving money to an out-and-out fraud than to Gendell. Truly, you have to try to be -91%.
@18 My bad. However, there is an RBS office of some sort in the building on the left – I guess I haven’t been paying too much attention to exactly what arm of RBS.
Stevie C should take the place…or is it not secluded enough?
“fixer-upper” is the mother of all understatements. the place is a shithole.
@21: Yes, I don’t know what that is, but it’s a small remnant which probably is on its way to Stamford to the new building, or to Bridgeport to the local unemployment office.
What’s up with all the fly fishing these wups do?
Introspectively – TOGFD
Silverpoint (Mule, O’Shea) is on the right, first floor.
Lone Pine Capital (Mandel) is on the right, second floor.
AQR is on the right, third floor.
I’d be afraid if I owned or was lending to the building.
Number 23 nailed it! I did 10 years of hard time in that place. It’s an absolute dump. I wouldn’t pee on that place if it was on fire:)
it should come with a cook and cleaner but it’s better if it comes with blow job doer.

Thanks for introducing a little raitonailty into this debate.
