A Succession Move at Tishman Speyer

Rob Speyer, who assumed the sole chief-executive role at Tishman Speyer last week, partly has O.J. Simpson to thank for where he is today. Before joining the family business two decades ago, Mr. Speyer was a reporter for the New York Daily News. In 1995, he scored a journalistic coup by tracking Mr. Simpson to a private golf course in Florida and getting one of the first exclusive interviews with him after his acquittal for murder. But Mr. Speyer got arrested for trespassing in the process. The authorities quickly dropped the matter, but not before Mr. Speyer spent hours in a tiny jail cell with five other men and came close to spending the night there. That incident accelerated a career change that Mr. Speyer had already been considering. Later that year he joined Tishman Speyer and for the next two decades played a role in expanding the firm. It currently controls a portfolio of some 139 million square feet of space on four continents, with a value of about $75 billion.
