Lloyd Goldman, founder and president of BLDG Management, is consistently ranked as one of New York's most powerful real estate investors. Goldman is heir to a real estate fortune built up by his father, Irving, and his uncle, Sol, who at one time held a stake in the Chrysler Building.

Lloyd Goldman is a partner with Larry Silverstein in the redevelopment of the World Trade Center, having led the group that raised most of the money for Silverstein's takeover of the lease in early 2001. Goldman, who generally shuns the limelight, has said the partners have an understanding that he'll take over the project when the older Silverstein steps aside.

Goldman was also a major investor in the ill-fated New York Wheel project launched in 2012 to build a 630-foot tall observation wheel on Staten Island similar to the London Eye. The project languished for years due to leadership infighting, contractor disputes and funding problems before developers pulled the plug in 2018.

BLDG's more notable projects include the Summit, a luxury rental at 222 East 44th Street, and its $13 million renovation of the Montauk Yacht Club.
