"There is a lot of activity underway at 20 Pine and some great opportunities exist there. The building is the height of luxury with over 30,000 s/f of amenities in the works and stunning Armani Casa designed units." "Lori Ordover has proven herself to be a dynamic thinker in marketing and sales," said Richard Marin, Chairman and CEO of Africa Israel USA. "It's an honor to have her join Africa Israel." The 38-story, 409-unit condominium at the intersection of Pine and Nassau Sts. is located in the former Chase Bank Building.
