Early Life
Jane Goldman was born in 1955 to a Jewish family in New York City, the daughter of Lillian (née Schuman) and Sol Goldman. She is the youngest of four siblings: Allan H. Goldman, Diane Goldman Kemper, and Amy Goldman Fowler. Her father, Sol Goldman, was a prominent real estate investor, and at one point, was the largest non-institutional real estate investor in New York City, owning a portfolio of nearly 1,900 commercial and residential properties.
Rise to Success
Jane Goldman, along with her siblings, inherited a significant real estate portfolio from her father. Following his death in 1987, Jane, along with her late brother Allan Goldman, took the lead in managing the family's real estate holdings through Solil Management. The company owns and manages a substantial number of properties, including apartments on the Upper East Side, a block of land in Midtown Manhattan that includes the Olympic Tower and the Cartier Mansion, and a 17% stake in the World Trade Center developments in lower Manhattan.
Key Business Strategies
The Goldman family's strategy, as indicated by her father Sol, focused on acquiring properties and maintaining them long-term, generating income through rents. Solil Management has continued this strategy, focusing on the acquisition and management of a diverse portfolio of properties. While specific details about current strategies are not readily available, the focus appears to be on maintaining and growing their existing holdings.
