About Me

Richard LeFrak became CEO of the LeFrak Organization in 2003 when his father Sam died. The father-son team transformed the business, which started in France in 1883, into one of the largest real estate developers in the New York area. Holdings include LeFrak City - a 20-building, 5,000-unit apartment complex in Queens - and hundreds of acres across from Manhattan to Newport, N.J. Known for apartments for moderate-income tenants in the areas around New York City, LeFrak has recently been expanding into luxury and new markets. LeFrak's biggest bet right now is SoLe Mia, a 184-acre mixed used project he's developing in North Miami. An owner of rent-stabilized apartments in New York, LeFrak took a hit in June 2019 when state lawmakers made it harder for landlords to raise rents.
