What part of Related? Fund Management, Development (what part?), or leasing, sales, etc...? What kind of job?

They're pretty sophisticated as a developer in terms of having built some great buildings in NYC and mixed use projects. Some with REPE money (e.g. Columbus Circle in NYC with Apollo Real Estate Advisors), some with institutional funds from the US and elsewhere (on a deal by deal basis). They're doing the Hudson Yards development with Oxford Properties. It's a huge project (that article goes into detail).

The Fund Management side of the business is run by Ex-Goldman REPIA guys who left GS a year or two after the financial crisis. Smart folks. Well connected. Pretty down to earth actually. It's a relatively new part of their business and I believe they're focusing on deals where they can use Related's development capability.

It is definitely more of a developer/operator rather than an REPE/financial type company. The owner is kind of a big deal. I think he is the "Ross" that the University of Michigan Business School is named after. Must have cost him quite a bit.

Yep. Guy is a fucking badass, owns the Dolphins. Fired from Bear Stearns many, many years ago, and remarked in a speech: "What is the Lesson? Bear Stearns is now gone. Steve Ross is still here." I think the story is that he started Related with $50,000 he borrowed from his mom.
 

Yes - Ross is the guy that the school was named after - i.e. he bought it. And he's a badass.

Related in general is a very strong firm. Amongst the top tier of developers, they are known for taking more risk in things like zoning / relocation / etc... they own NYC and can get shit done.... as mentioned above, their fund managment business is just getting started, but they seem to be building on a solid foundation and sticking to their core competencies. They have investments/accounts with some of the biggest investors in the middle east (Qatar I think, plus some of the big families), so that seems to be going well for them.

that's interesting.

 
talkaboutit:
The Real Deal recently had an article on the Related executives, including new CEO Jeff Blau, company background, and the story behind the start of their first fund. Won't let me post the link since I dont have enough posts but its worth checking out.
This is such bullshit. This is the second time someone has mentioned that they can't post an article that sounds really interesting to me, but they aren't allowed to share it, so I can't help my curiosity and have to go find it myself and then post it myself. Either way, cool article: http://therealdeal.com/blog/2012/10/19/relateds-jeff-blau-the-making-of…

By the way, how funny that someone above described Related as very "stratified" and that some might be put off by the culture, when this very article explicitly declares: Despite his young age, Blau was able to make a mark because Related was “the kind of place where titles didn’t matter,” said Silverstein’s Burger.

Thanks for digging that up Prospie

 

Construction is set to begin on the first stage of a $15 billion city-within-a-city that aims to reshape Manhattan's desolate far West Side, kicking off the largest privately funded office development in the U.S. since the economic downturn.

New York developer Related Cos. has assembled a new group of financial backers and said it plans to break ground in November on the initial 46-story office tower of the 26-acre Hudson Yards project, a sign that the dormant market for U.S. commercial development is showing early signs of life.

"This will be the Rockefeller Center—the heart of the city—for the 21st century," said Stephen Ross, Related's chairman. "We are going to build a truly world-class site." http://online.wsj.com/article/SB100014240529702034006045780730521310337…

 

I hear Curt Bailey is pretty inaccessible, often in NY or the Eastbank Club. I asked the VP of Development (Anderson) what type of applicants they get and he said they just got an application from someone who interned at Lazard and it will come down to a reference from a friend there. He seemed really cool and sharp.
