The Young Men’s/Women’s Real Estate Association held its February luncheon at the University Club with Mr. Ziel Feldman, Chairman and Founder of HFZ Capital Group, as its guest speaker. Mr. Feldman spoke to the crowded room about his start in the real estate industry as an attorney and his move to the development side in the early 1990’s. Since founding HFZ in 2005, Mr. Feldman has over five million square feet of residential assets under development or management. HFZ’s focus right now is to develop residential condominiums in strong, supply constrained submarkets of Manhattan, such as Chelsea. Among the company’s many active projects in New York and Miami, the company is actively developing projects near the Highline, the Upper Westside and the Upper Eastside.
