Deborah Benjamin, President

Since assuming stewardship of The Benjamin Companies in 2012, Deborah Benjamin, along with her core team, has successfully developed Arverne By The Sea, a mixed-use, master-planned community that represents the largest development project in New York City outside of the World Trade Center site. Mrs. Benjamin was also instrumental in the process that led to The Benjamin Companies being named the official post-Sandy New York City Build It Back program contractor for Queens.

While continuing The Benjamin Companies’ growth track into the future, Mrs. Benjamin’s first priority is to maintain the company’s alignment with Alvin Benjamin’s original vision. “At its heart, The Benjamin Companies is a family business whose goal has always been to rejuvenate the communities it works in and to build in harmony with the environment,” says Mrs. Benjamin. “My goal is to ensure that we always stay true to that vision and that all of our new projects contribute to the wonderful legacy that Alvin left behind.”
