Andrea Olshan is CEO of Olshan Properties (formerly MPI or Mall Properties Inc.), a New York City-based private commercial real estate property firm founded by her father, Morton L. Olshan, now its chairman. The company has specialized in development, acquisition and management for more than 55 years. Currently, the firm owns and manages 19,000 multifamily, 11 million sq. ft. of office and retail properties, and 1,133 hotel rooms, and its portfolio spans 11 states. Before taking the company’s helm, Olshan was the firm’s COO. The firm’s prize properties include the mixed-use Parkchester development in the Bronx, N.Y., and the Sheraton Galleria in Atlanta. “My mission as CEO was really to unify the company and to create efficiencies across the divisions, because they previously were run very separately,” she told the New York Times in a Q&A published on January 7, 2014.
