Born in Jerusalem, and calling New York City his home for over thirty years, Eddie Yair knows the significance of establishing roots. With a family background in real estate–his father was a developer in Israel–it was a natural progression into development himself. Eddie partnered with long-time friend, Viacheslav Levkov, who was already making his mark in masonry, and their first project was right on Brooklyn’s Avenue O. Just as family is most important to Yair, the process of building something from nothing is an endeavor that requires careful thought and expert follow through. This makes the future bright for Eddie and his partners: as they build on an already impressive portfolio, they are expanding into renting buildings and managing all of the properities that they are developing.
