Jorge M Perez

Jorge Perez runs Related Group of Florida, which claims to have developed more than 80,000 condos, mostly in Miami, since it was founded in 1979. As a young urban planner, Perez met developer Stephen Ross which led to a partnership. Today Ross' affiliate Related Companies owns a 25% stake. They built affordable housing in the 1980s, then switched to high-end condo construction. Perez has started diversifying where he develops, branching out elsewhere in South Florida, as well as in Uruguay, Mexico and Argentina.
