BUYING IN ON WALL STREET
A CONVERSATION WITH
In a rare dialogue billionaire philanthropist and industrialist
Alex Rovt will share insights on his purchase of New York’s
iconic ziggurat-topped Bankers Trust Building, 14 Wall
Street. Few men have achieved the success and privileged
status of strategically buying real estate as he has, for all
cash, especially when the purchase is in excess of $300
million dollars.
Alex Rovt personifies the American Dream. From humble
Jewish beginnings in Ukraine he rose, with intelligence, hard
work and resolve, to become an American citizen and one
of the 400 wealthiest Americans as recognized by Forbes.
Arriving in America in 1984 with a Ph.D. in international
economics he worked his way through odd jobs before joining
the privately held IBE Trade Corporation. There he leveraged
his extensive contacts and his ambition to eventually take
control of the business. The rest as they say is history
except for one important point, his success continues to
grow as he seeks out new investment opportunities such as
his acquisition of 14 Wall Street located at the very heart of
America’s financial capital.
His purchase of the Bankers Trust Company Building, 14
Wall Street, may prove to be his smartest buy yet. Although
the acquisition price at $330 a square foot seemed high at
the time, it is now looking very favorable. Sitting strategically
across the New York Stock Exchange, at the northwest
corner of Wall and Nassau Street, 14 Wall Street has been
described as New York’s most picturesque and perhaps
most important neo-classical skyscraper. It was designed
by a prominent architectural firm of the early 20th century,
Trowbridge & Livingston who designed many of New York’s
notable public and commercial buildings.
This important program will provide a unique opportunity to
learn firsthand about strategic real estate investing from one
of the richest and most successful industrialists in America.
