Josh Simon
Founder
Josh started his career in 2001 as Derbyshire Partners in Cleveland Ohio to execute residential land development and residential redevelopment opportunities. After moving to Florida in 2004, he rebranded as FLF Holdings which has served as the brand for the many dozens of single purpose investment entities where Josh is the Manager. Through these SPE’s, Josh has targeted quality well located real estate assets in Houston TX and Southeast/Southwest Florida that benefit from hands-on value-add development and redevelopment with an emphasis on basis and investing in locations with real barriers to entry. Josh has been persistent in his search for highest and best use and adding value at every step of the process.
Josh is also the manager of 3 operating companies that partake in executing the value-add development and redevelopment as well as managing properties where Josh is the Manager. FLF Management manages assets controlled by Josh in Florida. Frontier Realty manages multi-family assets controlled by Josh in Houston. Curated Group engages in construction/development, management and asset management and is the rebrand of FLF Holdings. Josh believes that full integration throughout the development cycle is critical to providing exceptional real returns to his partners as real time information and support allows for quick decisions and impeccable execution. Josh has completed more than 1.5 million square feet of commercial developments, over 4,000 units of value-add multi-family, over 1,000 new apartments, and hundreds of residential lots and condominiums. Currently, Josh is the controlling member of over 50 entities with AUM over $600 million predominantly in Florida.
Josh believes that real estate investing is about the asset and the location and will not financially engineer an investment to “work”. As such he successfully grew during the great financial crisis with no leveraged legacy assets and currently has no legacy issue related to floating rate debt or high leverage acquisitions.
