Soros’ fund leases chunk of Boston Properties’ 250 West 55th

Billionaire George Soros’ investment firm has taken just under 100,000 square feet at Boston Properties’ 250 West 55th Street. Soros Fund Management will take the spec office tower’s penthouse, on the 38th floor, and also floors 26 through 28 in the 15-year deal.

The firm will pay rents north of $100 per square foot at the million-square-foot building, Crain’s reported. Hanley Advisors’ principals Jim Coleman and Steve Kaufman represented Soros Fund in the deal, while Boston Properties was represented in-house by Andrew Levin in conjunction with a CBRE team.

George Soros was born in Budapest, Hungary, in 1930. His father was taken prisoner during World War I and eventually fled from captivity in Russia to reunite with his family in Budapest. Soros was thirteen years old when Hitler's Wehrmacht seized Hungary and began deporting the country's Jews to extermination camps. In 1946, as the Soviet Union was taking control of the country, Soros attended a conference in the West and defected. He emigrated in 1947 to England, supported himself by working as a railroad porter and a restaurant waiter, graduated in 1952 from the London School of Economics, and obtained an entry-level position with an investment bank.

In 1956, Soros immigrated to the United States, working as a trader and analyst until 1963. During that time, he developed his own theory of markets called 'reflexivity', which he has laid out in his recent books THE ALCHEMY OF FINANCE and THE CREDIT CRISIS OF 2008 AND WHAT IT MEANS. In 1967 he helped establish an offshore investment fund; and in 1973 he set up a private investment firm that eventually evolved into the Quantum Fund, one of the first hedge funds, through which he accumulated a vast fortune.
