Howard Michaels of Carlton Group passes at 62

New York, NY According to the Carlton Group, its chairman, Howard Michaels, passed at age 62 after battling a long illness. Michaels was a beloved husband, father, friend, philanthropist, mentor and a well-respected visionary in the real estate finance business.

He was chairman of The Carlton Group, which he formed in 1991, and since, it has become one of the premier real estate investment banks worldwide.
