New endeavors can at times be challenging, but they can also be thrilling. This is a historic time in the story of Goldman Properties: the true change from a founder-led business to a second-generation-led company. I was named the CEO of GP by my father on the 15-year anniversary of my employ. A moment of pride, a moment of accomplishment, and a moment of deep honor that I will carry with me always. My father died 5 days later. He had built a company over 40 years that today is recognized as the go-to real estate company for the revitalization of at-risk urban communities in the United States.
