State of Israel Bonds' real estate and construction division will honor David Levinson, chairman and CEO of L & L Holding Co., at its annual luncheon on Nov. 6 at 11:30 a.m. at The Pierre. Levinson will receive the Israel Peace Medal "for his leadership in the Israel Bonds program to strengthen Israel's economy," said campaign chairman Kent Swig of Swig Equities and Terra Holdings. Israel Bonds president and CEO Joshua Matza will participate in the award presentation. The luncheon is the most productive industry event in Israel Bonds history. Over the last five years, it has produced over $346.3 million in bond sales. Levinson, former vice chairman of CB Richard Ellis, has been instrumental in making L & L one of New York's most successful real estate investors and developers. The company has nearly five million s/f of commercial office space valued at approximately $3 billion. Levinson has been active in the Israel Bonds' real estate campaign, serving as a vice chairman of the executive committee. He is also a member of the president's club, an honorary category of individuals who have made bond purchases of at least $100,000 in a single year. In addition, Levinson is a former chairman of the New York Academy of Art and a member of the Real Estate Board of New York's Board of Governors, the Dean's Council of New York University's Gallatin School of Individualized Study, and the boards of the Alliance for Downtown New York, Friends of the Upper East Side Historic Districts, and Intrepid Museum Foundation.
