advanced search Lefrak Organization
The LeFrak Organization is a New York City-based, privately-held, family-run company that owns, develops, and manages real estate. It is one of the largest multifamily landlords in the city.
The company also operates as a private equity fund, acquiring private businesses, as a hedge fund that trades in securities, and as an energy firm, through its holdings of oil and gas wells and mineral rights.
The company formerly specialized in no-frills residential developments, including Gateway Plaza in Battery Park City, LeFrak City in Queens, and Newport in Jersey City. Since the death of founder Samuel J. LeFrak, the Lefrak Organization has undertook more upscale developments.
Its portfolio includes 400 buildings, most of them self-developed, and concentrated in New York and New Jersey. LeFrak also owns real estate in South Florida and on the West coast. The portfolio spans residential and office buildings as well as hotels and retail properties.
In 2020, LeFrak reached a $42 million settlement in a class-action lawsuit filed in 2014 by residents of Gateway Plaza in Battery Park City, for faulty window and neglected heating repairs.
Richard LeFrak, Samuel's son, was the company's chairman and chief executive.
