About
Argentine-American real estate pioneer Jorge M. Pérez launched Related Group in 1979 alongside Stephen Ross, building from affordable housing origins to become Miami's dominant luxury condominium developer with over 120,000 residences delivered and $50 billion in sales. His portfolio encompasses landmark projects like Baccarat Residences, Fisher Island luxury towers, and mixed-use developments that blend high-end residential with art programming, reshaping South Florida's urban fabric. After orchestrating a rigorous 20-year succession plan requiring his sons to earn MBAs and compete in rival firms, Pérez transitioned CEO authority to son Jon Paul in March 2025 while positioning son Nicholas as president of the condominium division, securing leadership continuity across the $40 billion empire. Beyond development, Pérez supports cultural institutions and has partnered on affordable housing initiatives, including recent Broward County portfolio sales, anchoring his vision of community-integrated urban growth.
"I wanted to build something that would change the face of Miami."
