Louis Dubin Biography

Louis Dubin is one of the most popular and richest Businessperson who was born on January 31, 1963 in United States of America, United States. Louis Myerberg Dubin, born January 31, 1963, is a fourth-generation real-estate developer. He develops high-end condominiums in major east-coast US cities. Redbrick LMD, an opportunity-based real estate investment and development company, is his founding partner. Athena, which he founded, was a New York-based condominium developer who sold condos to the middle and upper- middle classes. Some of his landmark buildings were converted into luxury condominiums by his firm, which was also bought by Charles Bronfman. He designed buildings that featured art by Jonathan Cramer, an artist-sculptor. New York Magazine called him one of the “new generation” of A-listers in Uptown.

Dubin was the director of the Resolution Trust Corporation’s National Land Fund for the Resolution Trust Corporation, which is worth $1.7 billion. This agency was responsible for disposing of assets that the government had acquired in the 1990s. He recalled that it exposed him to high finance, a world “that was somewhat lacking in mine skill sets”. Dubin formed strategic partnerships with the government and private sector. Dubin described his role as “a federal official cleaning up all the non-performing land in America.” He is the chairman of Maryland Governor’s Workforce Development Board.

Dubin was described in New York Magazine in 1998 as one of the city’s social leaders who were “all born after the baby boom and free of its disdain for old conventions”, and was a member of the “uptown A-listers” including Prince Alexander von Fürstenberg, Pia Getty, The Crown Princess of Greece, and fashion designer Carolina Herrera Jr.

In the early 2000s, Athena acquired and converted the Liberty Warehouse property in the Lincoln Center district of Manhattan at 43 West 64th street. Sonnenblick-Goldman arranged financing for the deal, according to one source. The building was described as a “quiet enclave” and “very residential” and close to midtown, shopping, transportation, and restaurants. Dubin said “It’s the first project on the Upper West Side to truly incorporate loft living.” Athena took the old Liberty Warehouse and modernized it; since it operated an entire block, the new building featured a drive-through area for valet parking. Renovated units were priced from $1 million and $4 million, and penthouses cost between $5 million and $10 million. The new building was marketed as “Liberty Lofts.” Since 1902, the building had a 37-foot (11 m) high copper statue built in Akron, Ohio that was closely modeled on the Statue of Liberty and which was visible from Lincoln Center. Dubin appealed in the New York Times for ideas about what to do with the statue. During renovation, Athena added four floors, reclad the building, and created loft-style condominiums ranging from 1600 to 6,151 square feet (571.4 m). In February 2002, the Liberty statue was moved to the Brooklyn Museum of Art. Residents included Gretchen Carlson, host of the CBS Early Show and her husband Casey Close.

My business strategy was to find opportunistic opportunities in real estate. “My goals were to purchase real estate at a lower cost than replacement cost and to redevelop assets that had been neglected. Rosen Consulting was hired by Dubin to provide macroeconomic forecasts on the development of jobs and household formation in key US cities. Next was to have acquisitions people search for opportunities in these markets. Dubin hired many analysts with Master’s degrees both in Real Estate and MBAs. He felt they were well-rounded and could work with numbers, but also had an eye for form and concepts. The market was a constant source of information for Dubin’s employees, which included ex-lawyers, bankers and textile design curators as well as tank platoon commanders and architects. As part of its mission to “teach the younger generation about the business”, Athena held weekly development meetings with all employees. The company cooperated with local and state officials. Dubin saw his role as a developer in the convergence of many forces including regulators, investors, architects and architects. He found this work fascinating. Athena created a fund that was proprietary in partnership with Morgan Stanley and UBS. This gave Athena easy access to large amounts of cash, while Athena sought out partners for larger deals. Dubin said that his firm existed in “nether land” where it had both the capitalization and flexibility of a public corporation. According to Dubin, the firm’s return on investment equity was over 30% in the 1990s.

A prominent headquarters building of the Union of American Hebrew Congregations, located at 838 Fifth Avenue at 65th Street, was purchased by A. Alfred Taubman in the late 1990s. The original 50-year-old building, originally constructed in 1950, was converted to luxury condominiums by Athena. Some of the financing was arranged by Sonnenblick-Goldman. The building is located opposite Temple Emanu-El. Athena collaborated with architects Beyer Blinder Belle to create storage rooms, wine cellars and servants’ quarters. The building’s exterior featured religious inscriptions such as “Love Thy neighbor as yourself” and “Do Justly Love Mercy Walk Hands With God”.

Bobo, spokesperson for the company, said that developers were attracted to the building because it was in a prime spot. The apartments ranged in size from 4,522 to 5,423 sq.ft (503.8 m). The interiors were demolished and reconstructed with nine-foot high ceilings. One of seven studio apartments on the ground floor was available for purchase. The basement was available for sale with nine wine cellars measuring 45 feet (4.2m) and fifteen storage units. Charles Bronfman (co-chairman of Seagram) purchased one unit. According to multiple sources, the sale was valued at $18 million. Others units were sold for $16million and $12 million, and were called chic by New York Magazine. In 2000 and 2001, renovations were completed.

Athena developed luxury condominiums across the Hudson River from Manhattan in Jersey City Developers thought that across-the-river condominiums were “an attractive alternative for high net worth apartment seekers who want to remain in the metropolitan area,” according to a quote in the newspaper from one of the financiers. Dubin noted that Jersey City was in a “phenomenal housing boom.” The deal was finalized, and construction began in November 2005. The skyscraper was close to subways called PATH trains for Manhattan-bound commuters. Dubin worked with financial advisers Sonnenblick-Goldman who helped secure construction loans from Chicago-based financiers Corus Bank and GoldenTree InSite Partners. One estimate was the project was valued at $112 million in debt and equity. A second estimate was $110 million. Dubin brought in architects from the Hillier Group as well as Schuman, Lichtenstein, Claman and Efron who designed the brick and glass facade. The project, dubbed “A” Jersey City, was a 33-story tower with 250 apartments, 10,500 square feet (980 m) of ground-floor retail space, a 238-space parking garage from the second through sixth floors. Dubin again brought in artist-sculptor Jonathan Cramer who made a sculpture entitled “The A” outside the building. Each unit had its own balcony and were marketed to consumers as having “panoramic views” of the Manhattan skyline. To make the condominiums attractive to upscale buyers, amenities included around-the-clock concierge and personal assistant services, a private fitness center, a westward-facing terrace, and each unit had 9’4″ ceilings. Dubin commissioned public sculptures to promote the project.
