STANLEY C. GALE is Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of The
Gale Company. He oversees the entire group of Gale Companies,
including a global real estate portfolio, one of the nation’s
largest private suburban office portfolios, and concentrates on
the establishment of joint venture partnerships with financial
investors and institutions including Morgan Stanley, J.P. Morgan

entrepreneur with a long and distinguished family history
beginning in 1922 when his grandfather founded the Daniel Gale
Agency. He began his career in commercial real estate in 1975
with Grubb & Ellis. In 1985, he formed The Gale Company with the
goal of creating diversified real estate investment and services
organization. Core to The Gale Company’s success is his constant
review and evaluation of the strategic direction of the company
as well as his commitment to leading it through its steady and
significant growth during the past 17 years. The Gale Company has
had many notable successes including achieving very high returns
for its investors. Most recently, The Gale Company was awarded
the facilities management contract of all AT&T Partners
properties (21 million square feet), the largest outsourced
facility management account in the history of the United States.
In 2001, The Gale Company partnered with Morgan Stanley to build
the largest new building in downtown Boston (One Lincoln Street),
the city’s first project in 16 years. This 1.1 million square
foot facility, a $600 million project, received a 20-year lease
commitment for the entire complex from State Street Bank, also
the largest lease in Boston’s history. In 1997, The Gale Company
(in partnership with PaineWebber and Morgan Stanley) acquired the
Bellemead Development Corporation’s interest in an 8.2 million-
square-foot national property portfolio, and has successfully
managed this investment including the return of all invested
capital. Beyond his professional activities, Mr. Gale maintains a
focus on community improvement and is active in numerous
charities, including his three year chairmanship of New Jersey
Special Olympics.
