are there offices in the empire state building
Empire State Building As of 2014[update] the building is owned by the Empire State Realty Trust with Anthony Malkin as Chairman, CEO, and President.[229] Details on the trust's profits are scarce, but it is known that significantly more revenue was earned from tourism than from leasing the office space in 2011.[230] In August 2016, the Qatar Investment Authority (QIA) obtained a 10% share in the Empire State Building through a $622 million investment in the Empire State Realty Trust. The trust's president John Kessler called it an "endorsement of the company's irreplaceable assets".[231] The investment has been described by the real-estate magazine The Real Deal as "an unusual move for a sovereign wealth fund", as these funds typically buy direct stakes in buildings rather than real estate companies.[232] Other foreign entities that have a stake in the Empire State Building include investors from Norway, Japan, and Australia.[231]
