Founder and Chairman
The Douglaston Companies
For over 40 years, Jeff has exemplified a record of success across a wide range of development types including affordable and senior housing, market-rate, mixed-income and mixed-use projects. Most recently, Douglaston delivered Manhattan’s largest new multifamily development, 3Eleven, inclusive of 703 market rate and 235 affordable residences to Manhattan’s evolving West Side.
What recent project, transaction, or accomplishment are you most proud of?
I am most proud of the recent grand opening we celebrated at 2850 Webster Ave., signifying the delivery of 188 much-needed affordable senior housing residences to The Bronx Community. Additionally, we are providing social services to residents on-site in partnership with Fordham Bedford Community Services and offering complimentary memberships to the New York Botanical Garden’s 250-acre grounds located adjacently to the property.
