You’ll learn about amassing a portfolio while giving back in this episode with Douglas Durst, chairman of the Durst Organization, a family-run real estate company in New York City. Douglas shares the history of the Durst Organization, starting with his grandfather’s early days as an immigrant running a pushcart and eventually moving into real estate investing. The company led the revitalization of Times Square with the development of One Five One West 42nd Street and of Lower Manhattan with the joint venture development of One World Trade Center.
You’ll hear about a sustainable approach to development, and the logistics of long-term planning in real estate. Doug discusses some of the family’s charitable involvement and commitment to green building practices.
You can connect with Douglas at the company website for The Durst Organization.
