NEW YORK CITY—Michael Goldban has joined the Rockefeller Group company as SVP and regional development officer for the firm's Northeast region. Based in Manhattan, he previously was VP in charge of Equity Office Property's New York City retail portfolio, which included oversight of the retail component of 1095 Ave. of the Americas, Five Bryant Park and the Cubes, a significant redevelopment project totaling more than 140,000 square feet in Midtown.
Prior to Equity Office, he was SVP at Forest City Ratner Cos., where he worked for more than a decade. While there he led all aspects of the development of Ridge Hill in Yonkers, the largest mixed-use project in Westchester County's history. Previously he was an associate general counsel at Forest City Ratner and was a real estate associate with Rosenman & Colin.
At Rockefeller Group, Goldban is responsible for the company's new Northeast region, with responsibility for existing and future development projects in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and throughout New England.
Throughout the region, the Rockefeller Group has several development projects planned or under construction—spanning over five million square feet—across the office, industrial, residential, retail and hotel sectors. Current projects include Flushing Commons, a master-planned mixed-use development in Queens scheduled for phase one completion in 2017; and the Green at Florham Park, in Florham Park, NJ, which is home to BASF's North American headquarters, Summit Medical and the New York Jets training facility.
“We welcome Michael to the Rockefeller Group and look forward to his contributions to our existing and future development initiatives throughout the Northeast,” says Atsushi Nakajima, president and CEO. “We continue to broaden and strengthen our development capabilities nationally and Michael's experience and leadership will be instrumental as we become increasingly active throughout the Northeast over the next few years.”
