GoldenNetworking.com's Distressed Investing Conference to Examine New York’s Real Estate Families' S

Old New York real estate clans, once treated like slow-moving dinosaurs on the verge of extinction, are now looking like wise veterans, in relatively healthy financial shape and eager to do deals. As reported by The New York Times, "A group led by the LeFraks is interested in buying Stuyvesant Town and Peter Cooper Village, a complex of 11,227 apartments near the East River whose current owner defaulted on $4.4 billion in loans. The Rudins and other families are looking at the Carlton House, an apartment-hotel building on Madison Avenue that is for sale. The Dursts, who like the Rudins and the LeFraks are in their fourth generation in New York real estate, are looking to buy a stake in the $3 billion skyscraper under construction at 1 World Trade Center."
"What distinguishes the families from other real estate players is that they buy property but rarely sell. They usually have relatively low levels of debt on their buildings, and they do a couple of projects every economic cycle rather than go on a binge, a practice adopted after bitter experiences with a deep recession in the 1970s." Their vision and strategies will be the subject of discussion and debate among a distinguished cast of real estate thought leaders, practitioners, private equity investors and professional advisors at GoldenNetworking.com's Distressed Investing Leaders Forum 2010, February 26th, New York City.
