Michael Staenberg is an entrepreneur and visionary developer whose career has been shaped by relentless determination, innovative thinking, and an unwavering commitment to excellence. Known for his extraordinary work ethic and hands-on approach, Michael has built a reputation for turning ambitious ideas into landmark achievements.

Born in Omaha, Nebraska in 1954, he has spent the last 50 years in the real estate development business. For Michael, great developments are about more than brick and mortar — they are about creating environments that inspire. A passionate advocate for the arts, he believes art has the power to transform spaces, spark emotion, and leave lasting impressions. He embraces the deeply personal nature of artistic expression and hopes the pieces he shares bring joy, peace, or simply encourage people to think in a new way.

Outside of business, Michael is deeply committed to family, philanthropy, and community. He brings the same energy and passion that fuel his professional success into his personal life, maintaining an active lifestyle and dedicating monumental resources to causes close to his heart, particularly within the Jewish community.  He uses his philanthropy to inspire others, to promote leadership, to create shared responsibility for the future, to beautify spaces and uplift creativity, and to generously and quietly help others in need.

A strong believer in giving back, Michael leads by example, encouraging others to support those in need through financial contributions, volunteerism, or sharing their talents. Over the past five decades, he has granted more than $1 billion to over 1,200 organizations in cities across the U.S. and in Israel. To him, every act of generosity — no matter the size — has the power to make a difference.

Our philosophy is that working closely with our clients and following a fun and engaging process filled with great workshops and conversations gives the best result.
