The North American headquarters of [[Sabena]] was located in a {{convert|36000|sqft|sqm}} office building in Manhasset. In April 2002, Knightsbridge Properties Corp. bought the building for $4.9 million. Due to the bankruptcies of Sabena and [[Swissair]], the real estate deal took over a year to finish. During that month, the building was 30% occupied. Sabena was scheduled to move out of the building on May 10, 2002. The buyer planned to spend an additional $2 million to convert the building into a multi-tenant, [[Class A office]] and medical facility.<ref>Anastasi, Nick.
