When celebrating GlobeSt.com's 15th anniversary, it's only fitting that we look back on the past decade and a half of transactions that have made major headlines. Be it in size, complexity or creativity, there are some deals that stand out as ones to remember.

Compiling industry data (including Real Capital Analytics) and past coverage on both GlobeSt.com and sister publication Real Estate Forum, today we bring you the biggest office sales of each year since our launch in 2000 through 2014. You'll notice a few trends as you go through the list—namely, almost all of the biggest sales took place in New York City, and there's a surprising number of repeat names, both in terms of properties traded and the players involved.
