History

edit

Scott Rechler founded RXR in 2007 after the 2006 acquisition by SL Green Realty of Reckson Associates Realty, at which he was Chairman and CEO.[3][4]

In 2011, RXR Realty purchased the Starrett Lehigh Building, located at 601 West 26th Street. Following a $900 million recapitalization, the building began extensive renovations to transform the property in 2022.[5]

In December 2013, NorthStar Realty Finance Corp invested $340 million in RXR.[6] NorthStar and RXR also launched a $2 billion non-traded real estate investment trust in February 2015, which later wound down in 2018.[7] In 2015, The Blackstone Group agreed to buy a 50% stake in six RXR properties located in New York State and New Jersey.[8]

In 2016, RXR Realty completed the purchase of Garvies Point, a waterfront mixed-use development in Glen Cove, Long Island. Since its acquisition, RXR has transformed the former industrial site into a community with over 27 acres of public space, 1,100 residential units, and 75,000 square feet of commercial and retail space.[9]

With Blackstone, the firm sold 1330 Sixth Avenue in December 2022.[10] In February 2023, the Financial Times reported that the firm would likely return some office buildings in its portfolio to lenders.[11] The Financial Times further reported that the firm would explore converting office buildings into housing, and noted the legal challenges and costs associated with these conversions.[10] The firm later clarified that it was only exploring relinquishing or converting two of its office buildings.[12] RXR did not disclose which buildings it was considering for disposition or conversion.[12] However, the Commercial Observer identified 47 Hall Street in Brooklyn as having high vacancy rates, and Crain's New York Business reported that RXR was exploring the conversion of the Adams Express Building in Manhattan to residences.[13] RXR has also begun lending against office and apartment assets; Rechler predicted in February 2023 that the firm would originate some $2 billion in loans over the year.[10]

In January 2022, RXR Realty rebranded as RXR. In the same year, RXR announced a $2 billion investment in multifamily residential developments as part of a national expansion plan. [14]

In November 2022, along with the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, RXR, Vantage Airport Group, American Triple I, and Jetblue announced a partnership for a $4.2 billion development of a new international terminal at John F. Kennedy Airport.[15]

RXR purchased a development site in Apex, North Carolina with homebuilder Lennar in February 2023.[16] The plan for the development calls for housing, educational facilities, and facilities for life-sciences research.[16]
