Al Gore Sets His Sights on NYC, a Milk ShakeAl Gore’s Generation Investment Management, the London-based securities firm he runs with former Goldman vet David Blood, is moving its American headquarters up from Washington D.C. to the Bank of America Tower at One Bryant Park. “It’s just a decision that we’ve taken lately that the very best place for us to be positioned for our clients and our business is New York City,” Peter Knight, the company’s president of American operations, tells the Observer. The building is sustainable — it expects to receive certification from the US Green Building Council when it opens in May — making it a natural for the firm, which combines securities analysis with research into issues like climate change. But we have to admit we’re a little worried about one thing: Is it going to be good for Gore to be so close to the tempting yet calorific delights of the ‘Wichcraft creamery?
