Equity Office adds headstones to the Grave Dancer's fold. Headed by Sam "Grave Dancer" Zell, Equity Office owns more than 300 primarily Class A office buildings totaling some 50 million sq. ft. of space across the US. Its target markets include Los Angeles, Northern California, Boston, and Manhattan. After a fierce bidding war against Vornado Realty, The Blackstone Group acquired Equity Office from still-chairman Sam Zell in 2007. Valued at some $39 billion, it was one of the largest private equity transactions ever. Blackstone combined Equity Office's portfolio with its own property assets, which included real estate purchased from CarrAmerica and Trizec Properties.
