Discussion about
Reading about the fight over the Gottlieb fortune it got me thinking. Who are the NY real estate families? I'd love to put together a list.
Please include a brief list of real estate owned.
Gottlieb Family - 150 apartment buildings mostly in the Village and Chelsea.
We live in a Rudin building. List of buildings they own is at nybits.com
the Rose family.
Rose
Durst
Glenwod people I dont know there name
Elghanayans, Milsteins, Zeckendorfs, Lefraks, Litwins, Goldmans (Solil).
I don't know if you want to call these people dynasties - but Macklowe, Trump.
And a bunch of families who control smaller numbers of buildings on UWS.
Oh, and that dude who owned most of the MePa district and some in the Village.
And I don't know if these count as dynasties (yet).
Steve Ross, Steve Roth, SL Green, Kushner.
are we talking resi. only?
Would you guys still include Swig?
There are hundreds of real estate families, most of whom prefer to stay out of the spotlight and are far below the radar of most on this board
What about the Olnicks, Neil Rubler, Joel Weiner, Baruch Singer.
"There are hundreds of real estate families, most of whom prefer to stay out of the spotlight and are far below the radar of most on this board"
Agreed - below the radar for most so I'm hoping some have insight and will list.
"are we talking resi. only?" No let's just talk rich - because really that's what I want to know - who are the rich guys that stay out of the press.
Perhaps you could make a distinction about the family.
Two Options
1. This family is richer than the Trumps but they aren't nearly the tools that the Donald is so you'd never know it.
2. This family will be richer than the Donald (they too are less of a tool than the Donald).
PS - I don't blame his kids at all - from what I know/heard they're impressive and you can't blame them for their father's "toolness."
jazzman i get this feeling like you are digging to see if people know who you are or something? Just a feeling......
samadams - lol - boy do I wish you were right. I'm new blood - I've only lived 1/3 of my life in New York. But let's hope I fall into category 2 some day.
i am a serious mogul--the Ubottom family--slightly toolish, not too bad
dezer?
rosen?
skydell?
Agree with MAV that most are discreet, and its only due to a slip-up in estate planning, or being so big, that we find out some approximation of what's involved. E.g., the Sylvan Lawrence estate. That one chewed up hundreds of million in legal fees, IIRC.
The speyers!!
If you really want to know, go to the CHIP holiday party next week...
Tisch
Spitzer (as in Bernard/not Elliot as in 'ho'miester)
There was a New York mag. article about them severl years ago but, can't locate.
it is not polite to look in others pocketbooks....
Biggest landowner in NYC in the 80s/90s besides the gov and the church... and the richest man in the world back then, too.
Paul Reichmann (Olympia & York)
he built the world financial center, just to name one... (also canary wharf in london).
btw, how low are we going?
because guys like Kushner are actually small time... we just know 'em because they got arrested.
"Would you guys still include Swig?"
"But that's a priceless Steinway!"
