Uris Buildings Corporation
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Uris Buildings Corporation was a New York City commercial real estate development company created by Harold and Percy Uris in 1960 from a predecessor private partnership. They retained 60% ownership in the corporation.[1][2] One of the last buildings the brothers built together was the Uris Building housing the Uris Theater.[3] Soon after Percy's death in 1971, Harold sold the corporation to National Kinney Corporation for $115 million, but the assets were soon foreclosed in the real estate market collapse of New York's 1973–75 recession.[4]
