Robert C. Baker, a leading real estate developer, philanthropist and member of the board at the Hudson’s Bay Co., died Sunday. He was 85 years old.
The NRDC portfolio is comprised of 75 projects covering 22 million square feet including retail power centers, community shopping centers, corporate/industrial business parks and luxury residential. The 50-year-old NRDC is headquartered in Purchase, N.Y. Baker also served as trustee and treasurer of the Guggenheim Museum and a member of the museum’s executive committee, and a director of Johns Hopkins Medicine.
Baker was a graduate of Yale University, where he received his bachelor of arts and law degrees. In 2018, Yale University named a new academic, social and residential hub for law students, Robert C. and Christina Baker Hall, in honor of the couple’s gift toward its development. The building was the school’s first permanent physical expansion since 1931. He and his wife also established the Nathan Baker Professorship of Law in honor of his father.
