Company Profile
Overview
L&L Holding Company is a privately held, vertically-integrated real estate company that owns and manages a 6+ million square foot portfolio of Class A commercial office properties in New York City.
Founded in 2000 by David Levinson and Robert Lapidus, L&L has a track record of 26 acquisitions and its team has grown to over 250 people.
Who We Are
Co-Founders David Levinson and Robert Lapidus have built L&L into a premier real estate company focused on maximizing property performance and value. They leverage their core strengths with over 50 years of combined experience and over $20 billion in transactions.
The Company’s strong partnerships and reputation consistently result in L&L being the beneficiary of “first look” and off-market opportunities. This allows L&L to capitalize on a wide range of investment opportunities. L&L prides itself on its culture of collaboration that fosters teamwork and enables the sharing of information and expertise across departments.
How We Create Value
L&L re-imagines buildings. Our vertically-integrated platform enables us to approach an asset from every angle and to provide expertise in all phases of the acquisition, development and leasing. Vertical Integration is key to maximizing the value of our portfolio, as well as, shaping the strategic vision of each asset.
The Company sees beyond current conditions such as underperformance of an existing asset due to inadequate capital, limited development expertise or a lack of strategic vision, and is able to recognize short and long-term asset potential and value-add opportunities.
Investment Strategy
L&L identifies underperforming assets with potential for greater service to tenants and the community. Creating a jewel starts with identifying a building with potential to enhance and beautify its surroundings, contribute to community environmental efforts and provide the most effective platform for tenants’ business.
L&L’s framework for re-imagining a building is always tenant-centric; how a property can provide a great work environment, deliver efficient service, and support employee recruitment and retention.
