Elie Hirschfeld (born December 25, 1949) is an American real estate developer, theatrical producer, philanthropist and art collector based in New York City. He is the son of the late real estate mogul Abraham Hirschfeld.
Elie Hirschfeld started his career as a real estate attorney at Milbank Tweed Hadley & McCloy. The son of New York real estate mogul Abraham Hirschfeld, Hirschfeld has developed properties such as the Grand Sutton, the Hotel Pennsylvania, the Crowne Plaza Hotel, Park Avenue Court, Sports Club LA Building, Manhattan Mall at Herald Square, the Gotham and Exchange Tower.
He owns more than 1,000 apartments and in excess of 1,000,000 square feet (93,000 m2) of commercial space in the NYC metropolitan area.
One of Hirschfeld's properties, an East Hampton estate which is worth an estimated $32.5 Million, was frequently leased as a summer residence by Bill and Hillary Clinton.
In 2014, Hirschfeld completed the fourth-largest Manhattan office leasing deal of the year, as ranked by square footage. The agreement with the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency renewed the deal on 570,000 square feet of space in W. Chelsea.
In 2015, Elie Hirschfeld purchased a Westhampton Beach mansion for $14 million, which the developer plans to use as investment property. It is marketed as a summer rental.
In September, 2016, Hirschfeld bought a 40-unit mixed retail and residential building in the Yorkville area for $23 million. This 21,640 square foot Upper East Side property adds to Hirschfeld's substantial portfolio of residential units in NYC. Hirschfeld also acquired a 7,058 square foot condominium unit, a triplex penthouse in the Marquand building, for $37.5 million as an investment property.
Elie Hirschfeld was featured in the ‘NYC Titans of Business’ panel discussion at the 2017 Luxury Real Estate Summit at New York City’s CORE club on April 28, 2017, moderated by Peter Grant of The Wall Street Journal, and Jennifer Gould Keil of the New York Post. Mr. Hirschfeld provided insights on the city’s luxury real estate rental and buyers’ market, and spoke about his many real estate development projects and his successful past partnership with his friend, President Donald Trump.
