Blackstone Tells Employees They Can Return to NYC Office Aug. 4

Blackstone Inc. is reopening its New York headquarters on Monday after keeping the office shuttered in the wake of a shooting spree that killed four people, including one of its senior executives.

The firm’s offices at 345 Park Ave. will be open to any employees who wish to return, Blackstone said Friday in an internal memo. The world’s biggest alternative asset manager also gave staff the option to work remotely for the entire week.

A spokesperson for Blackstone confirmed the contents of the memo.
