Multiplan REAMAbout
Multiplan Real Estate Asset Management’s singular vision for inspired living was born from a rich, forty-year history stretching across continents and time zones and culminating in South Florida, where the firm has distinguished itself as the preeminent developer of sustainability-driven, ultra-luxury real estate projects.
“Our team are always innovating and searching for ways we can bring joy to people as they live, work and play in the spaces we create.”
—José Isaac Peres
In 1974, Brazilian native José Isaac Peres founded Multiplan Empreendimentos Imobiliários S.A. and through his entrepreneurial spirit and vision transformed into one of the largest publicly owned real estate companies in Latin America. It is with this same focus that Peres launched Multiplan Real Estate Asset Management in the United States, building upon his long-standing history of excellence with iconic projects that herald a new and prosperous era for South Florida.
Energized by the unique cross-cultural synergy that continuously shapes and reshapes Miami-Dade County, Peres has long maintained a deep admiration for the region, having called Florida his part-time home since 1998. Earlier projects such as the acclaimed Il Villaggio mixed-use development in Miami Beach, with its sweeping views of the Atlantic Ocean and Lummus Park, and Jade Brickell, a bayfront luxury residential condominium Peres conceptualized and designed, set the tone for Multiplan REAM’s overarching mission: to pay homage to the buildings’ natural environments while enhancing the value of the surrounding communities with record-setting unit values.
Today, Multiplan Real Estate Asset Management has cultivated a world class development team and distinguished partners who continue to expand Peres’ legacy while furthering the firm’s opportunities in South Florida.
Founder & CEOJosé Isaac Peres
“The secret of success is to have things well done.”
An internationally recognized developer and owner of major residential and commercial real estate holdings, José Isaac Peres has been involved in the conceptualization and construction of more than 35,000 residential condominium units in over 350 projects around the world. The self-made father of five launched his first business as a passionate 22-year-old student in Rio de Janeiro and today manages and owns one of the largest real estate portfolios in South America. His Golden Green oceanfront condominium in Rio de Janeiro, for example—which comprises 14 water-front towers surrounded by spectacular amenities, including a private golf course—is a landmark for the city and, to this day, one of the preferred luxury beachfront developments in Brazil. In Miami, Peres’ sumptuous waterfront properties pay tribute to his beloved Brazilian way of life, fostering meaningful connections to nature and self while enhancing communities with record-setting unit values.
As the founder, Chief Executive Officer, President and member of the Board of Executive Officers of Brazil-based Multiplan Empreendimentos Imobiliários S.A., Peres has amassed a portfolio of 19 malls with more than 800,000m2 of Gross Leasable area, which serve more than 5,400 stores and approximately 180 million visitors per year. Adding to his achievements, Peres’ Multiplan Group is the first Brazilian real estate-focused enterprise to receive an investment-grade rating from S&P on a global scale. He continues to be an active participant on numerous professional and charitable boards. As a founding (and still active) member, he established the Brazilian Association of Shopping Centers (ABRASCE) and is also a member of the Association of Managers of Real Estate Companies. He holds a Bachelor’s degree in Economics from Faculdade de Economia da Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro.
