Blackstone Acquires Debt On 7 World Trade Center.

Business Editors

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 17, 2000

Blackstone Real Estate Advisors, the global real estate investment and
management arm of The Blackstone Group, L.P., announced today that it has
purchased, from Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association, the participating
mortgage secured by 7 World Trade Center, a commercial office complex
controlled by real estate developer Larry Silverstein.

Located in downtown Manhattan, 7 World Trade Center is a 47 story, Class A,
office tower containing 2 million square feet of office space. The property,
which is 100% occupied, houses some of Manhattan's premier companies
including Salomon Smith Barney, Hartford Fire Insurance, American Express and
the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

The mortgage contains certain features which allow Blackstone, as the lender,
to share in the improvement in performance of the asset over time through its
maturity in 2006. Average rents in the building are currently $45 per square
foot, reflecting a significant discount to current market rents. Additional
terms of the transaction were not disclosed.

Steve Galiotos, a Managing Director of The Blackstone Group, said, "Rising
rental rates coupled with the lack of available office space in downtown
Manhattan, made 7 World Trade Center an attractive investment opportunity for
Blackstone. We are pleased to be a lender to Larry Silverstein, a seasoned
real estate veteran, on one of Manhattan's trophy properties." 7 World Trade
Center is the second investment made by Blackstone in a Silverstein office
building. In April 2000, Blackstone formed a joint venture with Larry
Silverstein and Walton Street Capital to own and operate the Equitable
Building at 120 Broadway in downtown Manhattan.

Larry Silverstein stated that "Blackstone has one of the most exceptional
track records in real estate investment and we are pleased to have them as a
primary lender to a premier New York office property. Their commitment
demonstrates the strength of this market."

Bush and Schwarzman were even roommates at Yale

Stephen Schwarzman Why He's No. 37Stephen Schwarzman, chairman, CEO and cofounder of the Blackstone Group, the world's leading private-equity firm, became news when his company went public early in the year. Following an SEC filing, Blackstone disclosed their annual earnings for the first time in their history, and Schwarzman's personal worth was estimated to be in the several billions.

2007 Resume
Listed as one of Time magazine's 100 Most Influential People for 2007.

Behind the ScenesSchwarzman' s link to people in power extends beyond the world of high finance and big business, as he and President George W. Bush were roommates while attending Yale University in the 1960s. Their relationship was further cemented by virtue of the fact that they were also Skull and Bones brothers during that time. In addition to his towering status in the world of business, the Blackstone chief is also Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, and has served as an adjunct professor at the Yale School of Management.
2007 Manly MomentWhen Schwarzman turned 60 in February, the guest list at his Park Avenue bash in Manhattan was a who's who of the business, entertainment and political elite, including Vernon Jordan (advisor to President Clinton), Barry Diller (creator of FOX Broadcasting Corp.) and Cardinal Edward Egan. Rod Stewart also provided a live concert (for a reported $1 million for 30 minutes).
