    Fortune 500 Part 2: Here Are The Bottom 13 Industry Entrants

    Fortune just put out this year's Fortune 500 list of top companies—Bisnow sifted through the names to find how real estate firms stacked up. Here's Part 2 of our breakdown, with firms in the bottom half of the list. (Check out Part 1 here.)

    Simon Property Group

    CEO: David Simon (pictured)

    HQ: Indianapolis

    Spot On The List: 488

    Employees: 4,075

    The country's largest real estate investment trust moved up from 529 in the rankings last year, as it saw profits rise by nearly 30% over the same time. The US's largest shopping mall owner seems to have recovered from its failed $16.8B bid for Macerich last year.

    Spot On The List: 536

    Employees: 2,060

    The world's largest alternative asset manager had a rough year, with its profits cut in half, by Fortune's reckoning. Still, the PERE giant has come a long way since its founding in 1985.

    Hyatt Hotels

    CEO: Mark S. Hoplamazian

    HQ: Chicago

    Spot On The List: 562

    Employees: 45,000

    Hyatt bumped up 21 spots from last year, although it has yet to break into the top 500. Despite that rise in Fortune ranking, the firm saw a 64% decrease in profits over the past year.

    Toll Brothers

    CEO: Douglas C. Yearley Jr.

    HQ: Horsham, PA

    Spot On The List: 576

    Employees: 39,000

    Toll Brothers saw a much larger jump in rankings than Hyatt, up from 628 last year. The luxury homebuilder also made Fortune's list of fastest-growing companies, at No. 53.

    Wynn Resorts

    CEO: Stephen A. Wynn (pictured)

    HQ: Las Vegas

    Spot On The List: 585

    Employees: 20,800

    Wynn saw a big drop in rankings on the year, falling from 477 as its profits took a 73.3% dive. The company has been expanding its holdings in Macau, despite a slowdown in the Chinese city.

    Ventas

    CEO: Debra A. Cafaro (pictured)

    HQ: Chicago

    Spot On The List: 651

    Employees: 466

    Ventas also saw a drop in profits on the year, although not quite as much as Wynn, at just 12.2%. It has been just over a year since the Chicago-based company bought and spun off nursing and rehab properties from Ardent Medical Services.

    7 of 14

    Carlyle Group

    CEO: David Rubenstein (pictured), William E. Conway Jr.

    HQ: Washington, DC

    Spot On The List: 730

    Employees: 1,700

    This PERE giant dropped 101 spots from its place on the list last year. Carlyle and its peers had a particularly difficult Q1 amid market turmoil and rock-bottom oil prices. 

    8 of 14

    Equity Residential

    Fortune 500 Part 2: Here Are The Bottom 13 Industry Entrants

    CEO: David J. Neithercut

    HQ: Chicago

    Spot On The List: 781

    Employees: 3,500

    Sam Zell's (pictured) Equity Residential just revealed that a slowdown in gateway cities has it struggling. The Grave Dancer himself has predicted a recession in the coming months—although he hasn't broken out his classic pre-recession poetry yet (that we know of).

    9 of 14

    Vornado

    Fortune 500 Part 2: Here Are The Bottom 13 Industry Entrants

    CEO: Steven Roth (pictured)

    HQ: New York

    Spot On The List: 833

    Employees: 4,089

    Vornado has dropped 19 spots on the list after a 12.1% drop in profits on the year. The company has just moved into co-working and co-living, opening a WeWork and WeLive in Crystal City, DC.

    Boston Properties

    Fortune 500 Part 2: Here Are The Bottom 13 Industry Entrants

    CEO: Owen D. Thomas (pictured)

    HQ: Boston

    Spot On The List: 846

    Employees: 765

    Boston Properties has seen a nice 50-spot bump on the list since last year, and a profit increase of over 30%. The East Coast company just made its first foray into SoCal, buying a $500M office complex from Blackstone.

    General Growth Properties

    Fortune 500 Part 2: Here Are The Bottom 13 Industry Entrants

    CEO: Sandeep Mathrani (pictured)

    HQ: Chicago

    Spot On The List: 861

    Employees: 1,700

    GGP, one of the country's largest mall operators, has seen a 104% increase in profits over the past year, up to $1.3B. The retail REIT is investing in high-tech maps and other amenities to bring shoppers to its malls.

    Public Storage

    CEO: Ronald L. Havner Jr. (pictured)

    HQ: Glendale, CA

    Spot On The List: 870

    Employees: 5,300

    Public Storage is an oddball on this list, as the only self-storage REIT. Yet it has been a cash cow on Wall Street, with shares up 17% annually over the past 20 years—more than doubling the S&P 500 average.

    13 of 14

    Hospitality Properties Trust

    CEO: John G. Murray

    HQ: Newton, MA

    Spot On The List: 988

    Employees: 400

    This real estate firm just barely squeezed onto Fortune's top 1000 list, and if its falling profits continue (down 15% for the year) it could be on its way out. Still, over the last month the lodging REIT's shares have trended upward.
