Journey through the years
1896
Aetna Realty Company Founded
Our company’s roots go back more than 88 years, when William E. Lehman and Jack H. Lehman formed their first real estate investment company. As it happens, this fledgling firm played an important role in the development of Newark, New Jersey.
1929 – 1939
Surviving the Great Depression
Despite all the odds, Aetna survived the most severe economic downturn in American History. Thanks in part to the cooperation of banks and insurance companies, Aetna met all of its obligations and avoided foreclosure during this tumultuous time.
1980’s
Making waves
During the 1980’s, Aetna Realty handled the purchase of the largest contiguous site in Monmouth County, New Jersey. This 136-acre parcel of land was slated for a mixed-use development, Seaview Corporate Park.
1990’s
National recognition
During the 1990’s, Aetna continued to experience positive growth. We purchased properties from RTC (Resolution Trust Corp), thereby significantly expanding our portfolio.
2000’s
A New Era
Moving into the 21st Century, Aetna broke new ground yet again, by purchasing 2 Chicago properties totaling 850,000 square feet. Always venturing into new markets, we also acquired over 400,000 square feet of properties in South Florida.
2010’s
Further Expansion
In 2010, we acquired a 1.7 acre site in Downtown Miami, the present-day headquarters of Macy’s corporation. We have been asset managing a portfolio of 3 million square feet of Class A office and retail properties in Montreal, Canada.
