Tishman Realty & Construction Co., Inc is an American corporation founded in 1898 that owns and develops real estate. The company is known for being the contractor to build the New York World Trade Center.
History
The company traces its beginnings to a venture started by Julius Tishman in 1898. A Polish immigrant with a desire to be self-employed, he entered the real estate business by saving enough money to purchase the tenement building where he lived, acquiring additional residential properties and gaining the ability to renovate, lease and finance them on his own. The company went public in 1928 as Tishman Realty & Construction, becoming an integrated real estate and construction firm.[1]
Tishman Realty & Construction worked on significant projects around New York in the 1960s and 1970s including Madison Square Garden and the World Trade Center.[2] This public company liquidated in 1977 and the primary shareholders began three separate private companies: a continuation of Tishman Realty & Construction, a real estate development company called Tishman Speyer, and a leasing company called Tishman Management and Leasing Corporation.
