Dansker Capital Group and Morgan Stanley hosted a breakfast networking event on May 1, 2019 with guest speaker, Chris DeAngelis, founder and CEO of TriArch Real Estate Group. Andy Weiss of Dansker Capital Group sat down with Chris DeAngelis to share his story of his rise to success. At the start of his career, Mr. DeAngelis worked with famed architect, Frank Gehry, on the development of 8 Spruce Street, an over $800MM ground up development in lower Manhattan. Mr. DeAngelis’s advice to the audience was to start small and learn as you go while building a trusting team. By doing so, he currently manages over 55 properties in his portfolio and is currently developing a 80-unit, Class A apartment building across the street from Columbia University in Morningside Heights. The networking breakfast was exclusively sponsored by Morgan Stanley, Madison Commercial Real Estate Services, and Stein Adler Dabah & Zelkowitz, LLP.
