2006 sale

MetLife sold the entire complex to Tishman Speyer for $5.4 billion. The sale of Stuyvesant Town and Peter Cooper Village was the biggest deal for a single American property in modern times.

New York City Council member Daniel Garodnick, a lifelong resident of Peter Cooper Village, attempted to organize tenants and investors to place a buyout bid on Peter Cooper Village and Stuyvesant Town. Initially, MetLife deemed the tenants group an unqualified bidder, but, after being pressured by elected officials, MetLife reversed itself, and distributed bid books to the tenant group.

The tenants' group was outbid by Tishman Speyer, and the company has since taken control of the complex. They have not divulged any details about their long-term plans for the complex.
