At the desk of: Ken Fisher

Those in the world of New York City real estate likely know Ken Fisher from his work at Fisher Brothers, one of the city’s largest family-run property owners. Fisher heads up leasing, marketing and management for the company’s 6 million-square-foot Manhattan office portfolio. But what his colleagues may not know is that he is also chairman of the board at the Fisher House Foundation, a nonprofit that develops temporary housing for the families of veterans receiving treatment at military medical centers. As a result of that work, he’s rubbed shoulders with everyone from top-ranking military generals to U.S. presidents. In addition to both of those jobs, he also sits on the board of Strategic Hotels & Resorts, a REIT that owns 17 luxury hotels. With his office at 299 Park Avenue under construction, The Real Deal visited him at home on the 16th floor of his East Side co-op.
