RBH Group

Ron Beit is the CEO and founding partner of RBH Group, LLC, and RBH Management, LLC, as well as managing member of RBH-TRB Newark Holdings, LLC. Ron has acquired, developed, rehabilitated, and/or operated over 1 million square feet of commercial and residential real estate in numerous projects throughout the U.S. as well as over 6 million additional square feet in institutional-grade sites throughout downtown, Newark, NJ.

Ron has been an active participant in helping Newark become New Jersey’s business and entertainment capital and a downtown 24 hour, 7-day-a-week attraction. RBH recently completed the groundbreaking Teachers Village project, and is completing the Makers Village Project in the Ironbound. In addition to developing the Rutgers-Newark Honors Living-Learning Community, RBH is initiating the Four Corners Millennium project in the historic core of the city as well.

RBH is now expanding into a national marketplace, with Teachers Village projects under construction in Hartford and in design in Chicago, as well as in the planning stages in Miami, New York City, Atlanta, Boston and other cities across the country. RBH intends to invest its Teachers Village projects almost exclusively in designated Opportunity Zones, and has created a dedicated fund to assist in providing housing affordable to educators in the cities in which they live and work.

Summary

As Newark’s CRE market remains strong, what’s next for New Jersey’s largest city and transportation hub? How has entertainment, culture, education, and technology converged to make the Brick City an attractive place for forward-thinking businesses and residents alike? How is Newark competing with other “satellite cities” in order to meet the demands for current real estate trends, including densification?  Find out the answers to these questions at our special edition NJ event.  As always, expect plenty of networking before and after our all star panelists go onstage.
