Properties
In 2004 Bank of America bought FleetBoston and kept the Union Station (Albany, New York) building. The next year, the bank sold Kiernan Plaza to American Financial Realty Trust and leased the building back. In 2008 American Financial Realty Trust was bought out by Gramercy Realty Corp. and in October 2009 Bank of America decided to consolidate its operations at Kiernan Plaza with others in Albany by moving them to a State Street building also owned by Gramercy, with no job losses.
On April 1, 2008, American Financial was bought by Gramercy Capital, which assumed ownership of the 100 North Main Street building. Gramercy then sold the property to the current owner, SL Winston-Salem LLC, on October 23, 2008 for $36 million.
