A spokewoman for AIG told the Journal that AIG and Morgan have agreed to suspend litigation for 60 days to negotiate a possible settlement but believes Morgan's complaint is without merit.
AIG Global Real Estate, an arm of the insurance company, has interests totaling more than $23 billion across 53 million square feet of real estate, the Journal said.

AIG, AIG Baker and Morgan were not immediately available for comment.
