Principal, Moinian Group
Real estate development is not for the faint of heart, which is especially true in the fast-paced environment of New York City. Being well-capitalized, well connected, having a keen eye for value creation and a stomach for risk will only get your foot in the door. One characteristic trait that pumps through the veins of each successful developer is optimism! And what could be more optimistic than a skyscraper? Growing up in one of New York’s prominent real estate families, Mitch rose through the ranks of The Moinian Group, a company his father founded 40 years ago after immigrating from Iran, and turned it into one of the largest holding companies in New York City. Mitch Moinian brought the family to new heights and has made his permanent mark on the City’s skyline.
