What Kushner does

Kushner Companies is a privately held, vertically integrated real estate owner, developer, builder, and operator founded in 1985 by Charles Kushner and headquartered at 767 Fifth Avenue in Manhattan. The company controls $16.1B in assets across 139 communities, comprising 26.8K multifamily units, 5.2M square feet of commercial office space, 2.2M square feet of retail space, and 393 hospitality keys, with an additional 11.5K units in development. Kushner generates revenue primarily through recurring rental income from residential, commercial, and retail tenants, supplemented by one-time development sales to institutional investors and hospitality operations under brand partnerships (including a Princeton Marriott and the Bungalow Hotel).

Its operating model spans land acquisition, in-house construction, asset management, and property management under the Livana multifamily sub-brand and standalone trophy assets such as 660 Fifth Avenue, Dumbo Heights, The Puck Building, and Pier Village. Geographically, the platform is concentrated in the Mid-Atlantic and Sunbelt regions across 14 U.S. states, with formalized regional offices in New Jersey and Florida and recent market entries into Dallas. Capital partners including Blackstone, BDT & MSD Partners, Berkadia, and Cain anchor large-scale development financing, and the firm is led by CEO Laurent Morali and President Nicole Kushner Meyer, with founder Charles Kushner retaining family ownership.

The business has institutionalized since 2019 through senior leadership hires and has expanded its pipeline to over 10,000 units across New Jersey and Florida. Distribution is direct: residential leasing through property websites and on-site offices, commercial leasing through dedicated teams, and development sales to institutional capital partners. The company is not publicly traded, does not disclose revenue, and operates without disclosed AI/ML product capabilities.
