NEW YORK (Reuters) – Time Warner Inc is considering selling its New York headquarters and has asked real estate brokers to evaluate the building’s value, in a move that could see it relinquish one of the last vestiges of its disastrous merger with America Online, two sources said.

One source said on Wednesday that the company could still hang on to its portion of the Time Warner Center, a complex that Chief Executive Jeff Bewkes once called an “indulgence.”

NEW YORK, Jan 28 (Reuters) – A group of investors in the
company that owns the Empire State Building filed a motion on
Monday to block a proposed settlement of a lawsuit against a
group looking to create a public company with the historic
building as its centerpiece.

Several investors in Empire State Building Associates
(ESBA), which owns the building, said their skyscraper and
investment are vastly different than the other properties
involved in the settlement. As such, they believe they should
not be bound by the proposed settlement.

NEW YORK (Reuters) – General Growth Properties Inc (GGP.N: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz), the No. 2 U.S. mall owner, said on Monday it purchased warrants from The Blackstone Group (BX.N: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz) and Fairholme Funds Inc for $633 million, leaving its main investor, Brookfield Asset Management Inc as the only holder of warrants.

The warrants were exercisable into 52 million General Growth common shares at a weighted average exercise price of about $9.37 per share, General Growth said. The warrants were scheduled to expire in November 2017. The sale means Blackstone and Fairholme no longer hold any warrants to acquire General Growth’s common shares.
