Biography
Richard LeFrak's family business was started by his father, Samuel LeFrak, who was a prominent real estate tycoon. Richard joined his father's company in 1970 and took over the reins of the organization when Samuel passed away in 2003.
Currently, Richard manages the company alongside his sons, Harrison and Jamie. Their joint business consists of over five thousand apartments in various cities, as well as diverse real estate in New Jersey and Newport, including residential, commercial, and retail properties, with a total area of over seven million square feet. The company continues to evolve and expand its scope of activities. For example, they recently launched a project to create a "mini-city" in Newport, which will feature office skyscrapers and a luxurious five-hundred-room hotel. The estimated value of the project is around ten billion dollars. Competitors consider the activities of the LeFrak family to be unique. One executive from another real estate empire claims that the LeFraks are truly one of a kind, and their work is characterized by continuous modernization.
Family cohesion plays a significant role in the success of their enterprise. Both of Richard's sons are actively involved in the business. Harrison, at the age of 35, oversees the financial aspects of the business, aided by his prestigious education (he graduated from Harvard and Columbia Business School) and earned academic degrees. Jamie, aged 34, is an engineer who graduated from Princeton University with honors. Currently, Jamie actively participates in technical development and design. Richard's youngest son believes that the organization's best development lies in the implementation of new programs and projects. The LeFrak family asserts that the more new buildings are constructed, the more promising their business will be, and the more benefit the company will bring to society, resulting in greater income.
In addition to being an excellent entrepreneur, Richard is also an outstanding strategist and tactician. The essence of his work lies in the ability to create something out of nothing.
