Stanley Stahl (1924–1999) was an American banker and real estate investor from New York City.
Early life
Stanley Stahl was born on June 16, 1924 in New York City.[1][2] His father, Max Stahl, was a butcher in Brooklyn.[2][3] He had a sister, Beatrice Marans.[2]
Stahl graduated from New York University, where he received a bachelor's degree in accounting.[1][2] He served in the United States Army.[1]
Career
Stahl started his career as a real estate broker in Manhattan.[2] He invested in Manhattan real estate, eventually owning both 277 Park Avenue in Midtown Manhattan and The Ansonia on the Upper West Side.[2] He was also the co-owner of the Lunt-Fontanne Theatre with the Nederlander Organization.[3] In 1982, he acquired the AT&T Building located between 55th Street and 56th Street in Manhattan (now owned by Joseph Chetrit).[3]
In 1969, Stahl co-founded Hirstan Associates, a real estate investment firm, with Abraham Hirschfeld.[3] They owned buildings in Sutton Place.[3] However, when Hirschfeld wanted out of the partnership in 1992, Stahl accused the latter of unfair profit distribution.[3] In retaliation, Stahl was accused of racial discrimination against tenants.[3] In 1998, Hirschfeld was indicted of hiring a hitman to murder Stahl in 1996.[2][3]
Stahl acquired the Apple Bank for Savings for US$174 million in a hostile takeover in 1990.[1] He was its sole owner.[2]
