As chief executive officer of The Moinian Group, Joe Moinian's name has become synonymous with the creation and development of prime real estate assets. Mr. Moinian owns and manages nearly 20 million square feet of residential, retail, office and hotel property throughout the US and abroad. Since 1980, Mr. Moinian has applied a long-term investment banking mentality to commercial real estate, making him and his company a leading powerhouse in real estate today. A frequent speaker on the lecture circuit and a sought-after spokesman for the industry, Joe Moinian is a Triple "A" member and governor of the Real Estate Board of New York.

Mr. Moinian first set his sights on real estate in 1980 after using his early garment industry earnings to acquire loft buildings in Midtown South and the Flatiron districts. Later, he converted these properties to high-quality, premium office space. The success of these ventures became his springboard for success. Well known for his love of New York, Mr. Moinian resides in Manhattan with his wife, Nazee, and their five children. He often confesses to living, working and breathing real estate in the city and his ongoing impact on the skyline is a glowing testimonial.
