    The Sapir Organization is a group of privately and publicly held real estate companies run by the Sapir family.

    Among the properties the organization owns are 260 and 261 Madison Avenue and MTA headquarters at 2 Broadway. The companies also own a number of luxury hotel condominiums and residential spaces. The company was founded by U.S.S.R-born businessman Tamir Sepiashvili (who changed his last name to Sapir after immigrating to Israel). Today, son Alex runs the business after Tamir Sapir died in 2014.

    In 2015, Sapir Organization and CIM Group announced the sale of 11 Madison Avenue, an iconic office building, for nearly $2.3 billion. Sapir had bought the historic building in 2003 and was joined by CIM seven years later. In 2014, the organization purchased the ground lease under 110 Church Street and 53 Park Place for $231 million, taking complete control of both sites (the company had owned the buildings). The Sapir group also purchased the Mondrian SoHo hotel at 9 Crosby Street earlier that year in a partnership with Gerard Guez, paying $205 million for the site and renaming the hotel the NoMo SoHo.

    In 2018, Sapir launched Sapir Corp Ltd., a publicly traded real estate development company listed on the Tel-Aviv stock exchange. Through Sapir Corp Ltd., Sapir expanded the geography of the firm’s portfolio to Miami, Florida, which includes over 1 million square feet of ground up, mixed-use development, and a luxury condo development in Surfside, Florida.

    In 2019, he firm and the estate of the late Tamir Sapir became embroiled in dueling multi-million-dollar lawsuits with Rotem Rosen — Tamir’s former son-in-law and Alex's former business partner and former CEO of the Sapir Organization.
