About Us

A family legacy
in New York real estate.

Our Story

From the garment trade to landmark ownership.

Renaissance Properties traces its roots back to the 1960s, when Bernard Fishel — a Lieutenant Colonel who piloted 33 B-17 missions over Germany during WWII — leapt into the realm of real estate after owning and operating a garment business.

With an eye towards distressed assets, Renaissance specializes in value-add investments with a focus on prewar prime properties. From commercial and retail building ownership to leasing, management and construction, Renaissance has built its reputation on the superior capabilities and efficiency of its people, its most important resource.

Today, the Fishel family proudly continues Bernard’s work by applying an artisan’s approach to maintaining the architectural significance and historical framework of its properties. With an emphasis on quality and attention to detail, Renaissance brings a high level of comfort and modern technology, including the most elegant build-outs and the fastest services, to all of its treasured tenants.
