Abu Dhabi Fund Acquires
Most of Chrysler Building

Deal for 90% Stake
In New York Icon
Bucks Weak Market

An Abu Dhabi sovereign-wealth fund has purchased a majority stake in the Chrysler Building, an iconic New York City skyscraper.
The Abu Dhabi Investment Council will take a 90% stake in the tower's ownership for $800 million, according to people familiar with the matter. Tishman Speyer Properties, a New York landlord, will retain the remaining ownership piece and will manage the property.

ADIC purchased its share mostly from a fund managed by Prudential Real Estate Investors, a unit of insurance company Prudential Inc. The fund included European investors, especially Germans. ADIC also purchased a piece of the tower from Tishman Speyer, which previously owned a quarter of the building.
Prudential spokeswoman Theresa Miller said, "We are proud to have been able to invest in this U.S. icon, and just as proud to be able to deliver exceptional returns for our German clients."
Tishman Speyer's president, Rob Speyer, didn't return a call seeking comment. Representatives for the Abu Dhabi Investment Council couldn't be reached.
The sale, which was reported in Wednesday's New York Post, comes at a tumultuous time in commercial real estate. The credit crunch has slowed sales of property to a crawl. One bright spot for sellers has been interest from foreign sources of capital, especially oil-rich countries. Funds from Kuwait and Qatar helped finance Boston Properties' purchase of the coveted General Motors Building and three other New York skyscrapers last month from Macklowe Properties.

Next up...Inbev takes over Busch....

This is a shame. In most other countries you can't own a house unless you're a citizen. The North America union is coming, America without borders. In about 20 years, a few of the NFL teams will be owned by foreigners. Why not, the Federal Reserve is.

Anheuser-Busch, InBev Talk on Higher Bid, Person Says (Update1)

By Zachary Mider and Duane D. Stanford

July 11 (Bloomberg) -- Anheuser-Busch Cos., the biggest U.S. beermaker, began talks with InBev NV after the Belgian brewer sweetened its takeover offer by 7.7 percent to $70 a share, ending the 156-year-old company's monthlong fight to remain independent, a person with knowledge of the situation said.
Discussions over the $49.9 billion bid may still fall through, said the person, who asked not to be identified because the negotiations aren't public.
Both companies rose in trading today on optimism that Leuven, Belgium-based InBev would gain control of the 132-year- old Budweiser brand and become the world's largest brewer by sales volume. Anheuser-Busch, which has gained 26 percent since reports of InBev's planned bid, had spurned the $65-a-share proposal as inadequate.

America's great junkyard sell!!! (only we aint selling the real junk NO one is dumb enough to even touch Chrysler. I would have thought the koreans or Chinese would have done it..Or may be the Russians!)

Are you too lazy to do a little homework and figure this one out for yourself? Well fear not Mr lazy right wing Nut! I have accepted the task of school you and your ilk in how Bush has F@3ked this nation over.

Now i am going to assume you are not too dumb to figure out exactly what inflation is and how Bush's idiotic fiscal policies have led the dollar into a total free fall. Of course when you nuts were cheering on the idiot in the white house with his idiotic tax cuts and programmes wrecklessly helicoptering money in the streets, you didnt fore see this now did you?
You are all simply too myopic to see crap a first year business college student could figure out with a sac of beans for money! To make it worse you are still further too dumb to look back at past history for guidance.

So when our dollar is worthless, people holding other currencies different from ours can afford to buy up all our stuff by because they can afford the dollars that are so cheap right now.

Ps..Like i predicted you would slink away like a coward instead of taking my challenge on if Mccain would win the election. I am suprised that you have the balls to show your face in another of my threads talking this crap!!!

you are for bigger government less rights for the people?[/

I wont even waste my time answering that question. Only a certified baffoon would ask such a stupid ass question while looking smack dub in the face of the biggest increase in government and biggest spending president since LBJ and worst violations of our constitution in history!!:think2:

Some advice kid, go back to college and learn you to read. Even your fellow republicans neo-con bastards like limbaugh have ripped Bush on this and you have the nerve to post this crap??

Im sorry I cant debate you on this topic. You obviously have no idea how little the President has to do with fiscal policy.

"Ps..Like i predicted you would slink away like a coward instead of taking my challenge on if Mccain would win the election. I am suprised that you have the balls to show your face in another of my threads talking this crap!!!"

You fool I responded in 5 minutes I will make that bet in that thread. you are the one who hasnt shown your face.

CapNCash · Jul 12, 2008

So no one can explain what Bush has to do with the decisions these private companies are making?

BossTown · Jul 12, 2008

The thing that's always amused about the phony tough guy in the White House is what a pussy he is when it comes to China. Then again the old man had a soft spot for the ChiComs himself. Must be some family business going in there. China's probably the most dangerous and evil county on earth and the cowboy in the WH kisses their ass.

Well then do all a favor and stay the fVck outta my threads. I am not about to debate a guy who posts such crap in my thread. Total waste of time.

In your world the chimp that has been running around helicoptering money over cities in stupid tax cuts for the rich was a figment of our imagination. Sure, Bush has nothing to do with it, nothing to do with the war, its all hocus pocus.

you made your point now get lost!

InBev toasts £52bn takeover of Budweiser

InBev secured Anheuser-Busch after it increased its offer to $70 a share

<SCRIPT type=text/javascript></SCRIPT>

Dominic Walsh

<STYLE type=text/css>div#related-article-links p a, div#related-article-links p a:visited {color:#06c;}</STYLE>InBev, the owner of Stella Artois and Beck's beer, toasted victory yesterday in its battle to acquire Anheuser-Busch (AB) after raising its bid to $52 billion (£26.1 billion) and offering a boardroom seat to August Busch IV, the chief executive of the brewer that makes Budweiser.
Inbev, itself spawned from the merger four years ago of Interbrew, of Belgium, and AmBev, of Brazil, vowed to turn Budweiser - the self-styled King of Beers - into a “global flagship brand” and said that the deal should yield annual cost synergies of at least $1.5 billion within three years.
The figure, higher than expected, immediately raised the spectre of big job losses, although InBev reiterated its promise not to close any of AB's 12 American breweries. Analysts said, however, that Inbev's existing presence in Britain made it unlikely that it would retain the Budweiser Stag Brewery in Mortlake, southwest London.

thanks MR BUSH!

What the hell does the Chryslar Bldg and Budweiser being sold have anything to do with Bush?

Remember the Japanese business buying up the up the west coast in the 80's, how did that work out?

Answer the question instead of personally attacking--what do foreign investors have anything to do with Bush? the world is a global economy--American companies invest and buy foreign companies all the time. Microsoft and Google purchase foreign positions every week. Dow chemical and GE have made large purchases in the last month. It happens all the time in the global economy of today. No personal attacks needed if you have some facts.
