All else being equal, Equity Office is one of the largest commercial landlords in the US. The company owns more than 60 million sq. ft. of premiere Class A office space in the country's top markets, including Boston, Manhattan, Los Angeles, and Northern California. Former chairman Sam "Grave Dancer" Zell founded Equity Office in 1976. After a fierce bidding war against Vornado Realty, The Blackstone Group acquired Equity Office for some $39 billion in 2007; it was one of the largest private equity transactions ever. Blackstone combined the newly acquired portfolio with its own holdings, which included assets purchased from CarrAmerica and Trizec Properties.
