"Companies such as Citigroup look for very much the same qualities in a building owner that appeal most to our investors," says Anthony E. Malkin, president of W&M Properties. "They all want fiscal strength and stability, a proven track record and forward looking management."

Mr. Malkin notes that commercial leasing brokers representing tenants searching for space must also have confidence in building ownership and management, especially in today's changing economic environment.

"For that reason, we are very proactive in keeping the brokerage community informed, not simply regarding available or potentially available space, but also with respect to property enhancements and amenities, management techniques and the strength of the resources underlying our portfolio."

Wien & Malkin investments have one thing in common: they are all owned by investment groups led by Peter L. Malkin and Anthony E. Malkin. The Wien/Malkin family has a four-generation track record of dependability and success in commercial and residential real estate.

Malkin-family oversight of these buildings means they are managed, maintained and marketed according to the highest standards. By protecting the interests of their tenants, the Malkins are safeguarding their own investments and those of their investing partners.
