Blackstone, an alternative asset manager, is set to reopen its NYC headquarters on August 4, after shutting it down following a deadly shooting. The company's 345 Park Ave headquarters will reopen on Monday.
NEW YORK, July 2, 2025 - Blackstone Group Inc. (BX.N) has announced plans to reopen its New York headquarters on August 4, one week after the deadly shooting that resulted in the loss of four lives, including one of its executives. The company's office at 345 Park Avenue in Midtown Manhattan will be open on Monday, with employees having the option to work remotely. The memo sent to staff by Blackstone confirmed this decision [1].The shooting, which occurred on July 28, was not targeted at Blackstone, according to police. The gunman, 27-year-old Shane Tamura, a former high school football player, was believed to be attempting to target the headquarters of the National Football League (NFL) located in the same building. Tamura entered the wrong office and shot senior executive Wesley LePatner, police officer Didarul Islam, private security officer Aland Etienne, and Julia Hyman, an associate at building landlord Rudin Management [2].
In the aftermath, Blackstone has been working with Rudin, the New York Police Department, and outside contractors to reinforce security measures both in New York and globally. The company has also reiterated its offer of counseling to staff members who wish to avail of it [1].
The shooting has prompted a review of security protocols, and the company expects a return to normal working schedules the following week. However, accommodations will be made for any employees who feel uncomfortable returning to the office [1].
Blackstone's decision to reopen its New York headquarters follows a period of heightened security concerns. The company has been actively engaged in enhancing its security measures to ensure the safety of its employees and visitors. The reopening of the office is a significant step towards restoring normal operations and reassuring employees and investors alike.
