AIG Said to Mull Leaving Maiden Lane Headquarters

American International Group Inc., the insurer rescued by U.S. taxpayers, is weighing a move from its headquarters at 180 Maiden Lane in lower Manhattan, said two people with knowledge of the company’s planning.

The approximately 2,000 employees there may be transferred to other locations as part of a cost-saving consolidation, said one of the people, who asked not to be identified because the deliberations are private. An AIG-owned property at 175 Water St., within walking distance from Maiden Lane, is among the buildings that may absorb the workers, the person said.
