Founding Partner

Russell Pollack

Russell brings a creative and analytical approach to New York City real estate, shaped by his background in music, design and a lifelong exposure to the industry.

Real estate has long been part of his life: his grandfather was a developer and his mother is an interior designer. Before real estate, Russell spent seven years in the music industry, producing for film and television studios including HBO — work that sharpened his creativity, discipline and problem-solving.
