NEW YORK – Warburg Realty®, one of Manhattan’s leading residential real estate companies, today announced the acquisition of Rubicon Property including its storefront at 451 Columbus Avenue. This is Warburg’s first acquisition of another real estate firm.
“What attracted us to Rubicon was its forward thinking approach to real estate and strong focus on technology, as well as a thorough knowledge of the Upper West Side market,” stated Frederick Warburg Peters, president of Warburg Realty.
“I look forward to bringing our core values of philanthropy and social entrepreneurship to Warburg,” stated Jason Haber, co-founder of Rubicon Property.
In 2010, Haber co-founded Rubicon with the goal of serving the firm’s clients while making the world a better place through regular donations to charity:water, a non-profit organization that brings clean and safe drinking water to people in developing nations.
