Among his many successful initiatives, the repositioning in the company’s flagship holding at 11 Madison Avenue stands as a signature achievement.

Under Alex’s leadership the property, previously occupied predominantly by Credit Suisse, was transformed to include Sony, William Morris Endeavor and Yelp. Now containing a further diversified and world class tenant roster culminating with the renewal of Credit Suisse, in 2015 Alex presided over the final sale of the property to SL Green for $2.6B, which would become the largest individual building sale in American history.

He employs an engaged leadership paradigm which involves his participation in all initiatives of the business and the dedicated servicing of numerous partnerships while pursuing an consistent program of innovative design and architecture for all undertaken projects.
Continuing the strong legacy of philanthropy started by his father, Alex supports numerous charitable causes. His involvement and collaborations include the Make-a-Wish Foundation, where he created the Tamir Sapir Basketball Fund, the Western Wall Heritage Foundation, Shaare Zedek Medical Center in Jerusalem, and The American Cancer Society.
