What Alexander's does

Small, Vornado-controlled REIT owning a handful of well-located New York City-area office and retail properties.

Earns rent on long leases, with Bloomberg's headquarters tower on Lexington Avenue as the dominant tenant, alongside retail centres in Queens and an apartment tower. It has no employees of its own: Vornado manages, leases and develops the properties and charges fees for doing so.
