As one of the wealthiest real estate companies in the country, they began to aggressively seek tenants in the technology and entertainment fields who have not been eager to locate downtown. MPG had been one of Southern California's most prominent real estate developers and a longtime L.A. office tower owner. They were known as a builder of top-quality office space in Southern California for decades after being founded by Robert F. Maguire in the 1960s. The MPG buildings they acquired include the Gas Company Tower and the Wells Fargo Tower on Bunker Hill.〔Vincent, Roger (13 October 2013) ("Brookfield becomes dominant landlord in L.A. financial district" ) ''Los Angeles Times''〕〔Vincent, Roger (November 14, 2014) ("Oaktree Capital agrees to expand offices in downtown Los Angeles" ) ''Los Angeles Times''〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Brookfield Office Properties」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
