Michael Shvo Real Estate

One amazing property called Jade at 16 West 19^th Street certainly had interesting people behind it.  The project was designed by yoo, an international branding, design and investment property company.  They have worked on a huge range of properties including offices, hotels, residential properties, rentals and more. The main thing that made them so interesting were the designers they had on their team.

Their team included four of the best designers in the world, who worked to design fantastically innovative, interesting and beautiful locations.  Rather than just designing buildings and residences – they  designed cutting-edge, thoughtful and dramatic works of art.  Their design team included Philippe Starck, Jade Jagger, Marcel Wanders and Kelly Hoppen.

For this specific property, at 16 West 19th, a number of amazing companies teamed up together.  These included Perkins Eastman, SHVO with founder and president Michael Shvo, the Cooper Group Inc. and Halstead Property.  They all worked together to create the finest property imaginable.

Michael Shvo

Michael Shvo grew up in a small town in Israel, and arrived in New York City in 1996 with about $3,000 and just one bag of luggage. Having not a clue what he would do in the “Big Apple,” he started his business life by managing a fleet of taxis. While searching for his own place to live he realized that real estate could be a great career for him and exceedingly profitable as well.

In 1998 Shvo began to work for Douglas Elliman, the well-known real estate agency. He showed a drive rarely seen, showing upwards of 40 rental apartments each day to clients. Michael Shvo was always the first person in the office each morning, and because no one else was there he took all the calls from their clients. In just one year at Elliman Michael Shvo was giving training seminars for new agents coming to work for Elliman. He was the perfect example and role model for the trainees as someone who arrived at Elliman with no experience and fewer contacts, and through sheer hard work and drive could succeed fantastically.

In the following video real estate marketer Michael Shvo discusses risk, return, and theory in the real estate market. Michael Shvo appeared on Cityscape TV in Dubai, where he spends two weeks each month, splitting his time between the Emirate and New York City.

After Michael Shvo’s meteoric rise in the New York City real estate world during his six years as an agent for Douglas Elliman, he began his own firm, The Shvo Group, in 2004.
