The Rockefeller Group, a leading global real estate owner, developer and investment manager, announced Daniel L. Rashin, who resides in New Canaan, will be named co-president and CEO. He will join in a co-leadership capacity with Atsushi Nakajima, who has served as the company’s sole president and CEO since March 2013, during which time the company has significantly expanded its development and investment management activities nationally. The appointment will be effective Jan. 1, 2016.
The two executives will have joint oversight of The Rockefeller Group’s business and investment operations, which include a premier office portfolio in Manhattan, a leading U.S. development business and a global investment management platform. The Rockefeller Group, which is headquartered in New York, is the largest international subsidiary of Tokyo-based Mitsubishi Estate Co. Ltd., one of the world’s leading integrated real estate companies.
Rashin, who will continue to be based in New York, joined the company in 2013 as senior vice president, investments. Since that time, he has assumed additional leadership responsibilities, including head of development in New York and urban development nationally. During Rashin’s tenure, the company has started or advanced several large-scale development projects in New York, New Jersey, Florida and Arizona.
“It is an honor to work alongside Atsushi to enhance The Rockefeller Group’s existing portfolio and to grow our investment and development activity in New York and nationally,” said Rashin. “The company benefits greatly from its heritage, its people and its partnership with Mitsubishi Estate. We’re expecting to continue to use these assets, a strong balance sheet and a clear focus to create favorable investment opportunities for us, our partners and investors.”
Prior to joining The Rockefeller Group, Mr. Rashin spent over 20 years at Hines Interests. His first 10 years at Hines were spent primarily in development with involvement in projects in New York City, Washington, D.C. and in Princeton, New Jersey.
Rashin is a graduate of Williams College where he earned a bachelor’s degree in Economics. He also holds a JD from Harvard Law School.
