Jorge M. Pérez, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of The Related Group, has led South

Florida’s complex urban evolution for over 40 years. His commitment to “building better cities,”

and natural ability to identify emerging market trends makes his one of the most trusted and

influential names in real estate. Armed with an industry leading team, unmatched land

holdings, innovative financing techniques and a pipeline of more than 100,000 units, Pérez is

set to answer the demands and desires of a new generation.

Starting out in the 1970’s, Pérez first made a name for himself in the public housing market of

low-income Miami neighborhoods, including Little Havana and Homestead. His attention to

detail and commitment to creating top-tier living environments distinguished him within the

marketplace and laid the groundwork for future Related projects. Nearly four decades later, his

unique passion for creating vibrant urban communities makes him a trendsetter, often the first

developer to enter emerging or undiscovered neighborhoods.

Over the years, Pérez and The Related Group have partnered with world-class names in

architecture and interior design. Collaborations with creative luminaries like Bernardo Fort

Brescia, David Rockwell, Philippe Starck, Yabu Pushelberg, Piero Lissoni, Karim Rashid, Rem

Koolhaas, among others, have produced neighborhood-defining projects and established

Related’s numerous developments as integral components of Miami’s evolving cityscape.

A lover of art and an avid collector, Pérez infuses each development with museum-quality

works of art, including pieces from master artists such as Frank Stella, Fernando Botero, Jaume

Plensa, Julio Le Parc and Fabian Burgos. The carefully curated collections are proudly displayed

throughout all Related developments, complementing each building’s unique character and

often serving as prominent community landmarks.

Driven by a lifelong commitment to better his community, Mr. Pérez has grown to become one

of the country’s most prolific philanthropists and recently established two foundations

dedicated to the advancement of an equitable, thriving South Florida. The first, the Related

Philanthropic Foundation, serves as the charitable arm of the Related Group, while the second,

named The Jorge M. Pérez Family Foundation, functions as the Pérez family’s personal

philanthropic fund. While each has its own respective focus, both foundations are dedicated to

empowering and supporting organizations driving positive impact in the areas of economic

development, education, health and well-being, the environment, and arts and culture. The

latest round of contributions includes a $1 million-donation to Florida International University’s

(FIU) Metropolitan Center and a $1 million-gift benefitting twenty South Florida-based non-

profits, including ArtCenter South Florida, GableStage, Miami New Drama, Adrienne Arsht

Center, Arts for Learning Miami and Together for Children.
