The Abu Dhabi Investment Council took a majority stake in the building for a reported $800 million in 2008, while real-estate firm Tishman Speyer Properties owns the remaining stake.

The skyscraper has been a part of the Manhattan skyline since 1930 and was the world's tallest building until it was surpassed by the Empire State Building 11 months later.
