Formed by legendary real estate mogul Michael Dezer in 1970, Dezer Properties today boasts 20 commercial buildings and slew of commercial co-ops to its name, the largest such portfolio in New York City's Chelsea neighborhood. It remains the New York base of the larger Dezer Development, which Dezer moved to Miami in 1985. Dezer Properties is run by Dezer's daughter, Leslie Dezer Salmon.

Dezer Properties initially made its name buying up old warehouses and buildings with industrial tenants, then converting them. In the years since, it has bolstered that name by latching onto other corporate brands, be in Trump or Porsche.

Dezer Development moved to Miami Beach in 1985, and diversified to include a hotel division. The company still owns 30 undeveloped oceanfront acres, which include plans for a 2016 Porche-themed apartment building that would feature a robotic elevator system that would park cars next to residents units.  In 2003 Dezer and Trump Organization partnered to create luxury condo Trump Grande Ocean Resort and Residences and Trump Towers. Dezer Development partnered in 2011 with Brazilian furnishings brand Artefacto for its oceanfront properties in Sunny Isles Beach in Florida.

Michael Dezer's son Gil Dezer is president of Dezer Development.
