The Real Deal New York

From the February issue: The careers of real estate brokers and developers are usually thought of as so demanding that it is rare to find someone who does both at the same time. But for Ilan Bracha, who balances a career as a broker at Prudential Douglas Elliman with his role as a developer at B+B Investment Group, the dual positions are an opportunity to flex both muscles. “I have a lot of friends that are also developers as well as real estate investors and they are balancing these endeavors with three or four companies that they run simultaneously. This is the facet that I find both challenging and fun,” said Bracha, 33, a managing director and head of his own group at Elliman, as well as co-founder and co-president of B+B.
