Cohen (born February 8, 1952)[2] is an American real estate developer and film producer. Early life and educationCohen was raised in a Jewish family[3] in Harrison, New York,[2] the son of Gloria and Sherman Cohen.[4] His father was founder of Cohen Brothers Realty & Construction Corporation[4] which he founded with his two brothers in the 1950s. At the age of 16, he made his first short film winning an honorable mention at the Kodak Teenage Movie Awards competition.[3] Cohen attended New York University for a year and a half before transferring to Tufts where he majored in English.[3] In 1974, Cohen graduated from Tufts University and in 1977, he graduated from Brooklyn Law School.[5] CareerReal Estate: Cohen Brothers Realty Corporation is a private commercial real estate development and management firm with a portfolio of 12 million square feet of Class A office buildings and showrooms of over 300 high end luxury companies across the United States. Signature projects include the revitalization of Manhattan’s renowned Decoration & Design (D&D) Building, the Southern California’s Pacific Design Center and the Design Center of the Americas (DCOTA) in South Florida, the largest design center in the United States. Beyond his mastery of business transactions, he has brought his impeccable taste and style to a wide range of high-profile projects, from office skyscrapers, corporate parks, design centers and his newest passion: hotels and multiplexes. Perhaps the best illustration of this is Mr. Cohen’s impressive revitalization of the D&D (Decoration & Design) Building on Manhattan’s East Side. In repositioning this once-proud specialty building into a true showcase property, Mr. Cohen turned a seemingly outdated structure into the premier luxury home furnishings center in the world. He has done the same in three other parts of the country – in Texas at the Decorative Center Houston, in South Florida at the Design Center of the Americas (DCOTA) in Dania Beach, and on the West Coast at the Pacific Design Center in West Hollywood. Mr. Cohen has worked with a remarkable lineup of architects and design professionals on many prominent projects built for an array of Fortune 100 companies. In transforming the former General Foods Headquarters in White Plains, N.Y, into a Class-A multi-tenanted business center, Mr. Cohen worked with legendary architect Philip Johnson. He has completed projects with architects Cesar Pelli, Helmut Jahn and Allan Greenberg and interior designers Adam Tihany and Jacques Garcia. In addition, Mr. Cohen has acquired buildings designed by the architectural firms of Kohn, Pederson & Fox and Mr. Pelli. Mr. Cohen’s signature New York City properties include 623 Fifth Avenue, 622 Third Avenue, 135 East 57th Street, 750 Lexington Avenue, 3 East 54th Street, 805 Third Avenue, 3 Park Avenue, 475 Park Avenue South and the D&D Building at 979 Third Avenue.
