Conozca a Jorge M. Pérez, el artífice de la icónica silueta de Miami. Nacido en Argentina de padres cubanos exiliados, Pérez llevó su talento a Michigan, donde se formó antes de sumergirse en la escena del desarrollo económico de Miami. Es más que un magnate inmobiliario, es un agente de cambio. Con su empresa, Related Companies, se concentró inicialmente en proyectos de viviendas asequibles y luego se convirtió en uno de los principales urbanizadores en el mundo de los rascacielos, supervisando a menudo más de 50 proyectos simultáneamente.

Pero su influencia no se limita al sector inmobiliario. Su espíritu filantrópico queda patente en su generosa donación de $30 millones al Pérez Art Museum Miami. Jorge M. Pérez es un hombre cuyo legado sobrepasa el acero y el hormigón.

Jorge Pérez, Chairman and CEO of The Related Group has been at the forefront of South Florida’s complex urban evolution for over 40 years. He has assembled a dynamic selection of land parcels, new financing techniques, and a talented and strong management team and a pipeline of more than 100,000 residential units.

Best known to the public for his $40 million contribution to the Pérez Art Museum Miami, PAMM. Mr. Pérez was born in Buenos Aires to Cuban parents. He lived in Bogotá during his youth before relocating to Miami. In the U.S. he earned a bachelor’s degree in economics and an urban planning master’s degree. In the 1970s he started developing public housing in underserved areas such as Little Havana.

He is active in the Miami International Film Festival and the National Young Arts Foundation. He has received numerous awards such as the Ernst & Young’s Entrepreneur of the Year. TIME Magazine identified him as one of the nation's 25 most influential Hispanic individuals.
