Managed by Simon Baron Development
Founded by Jonathan Simon in the early 1990s, Simon Baron Development is a Manhattan-based real estate developer focusing on value-added residential acquisitions and redevelopment. The firm manages dozens of rental properties across Manhattan, Brooklyn and Queens, spanning both modern high-rise towers and renovated prewar walk-ups. Its portfolio extends through diverse neighborhoods – from the Upper East Side and East Village to Long Island City. Many of its rental buildings offer amenities like fitness centers, rooftop decks and 24/7 doorman service, reflecting a focus on active urban living.
For broader perspective, the company also undertakes mixed-use and hospitality projects. For example, it has acquired and repositioned a historic downtown Los Angeles hotel. One notable New York development is ALTA LIC at 29-22 Northern Boulevard in Long Island City – a 43-story rental tower completed in 2018. It offers residents over 27,000 square feet of indoor/outdoor amenity space, including a lap pool, fitness center, pet spa and rooftop lounge. Overall, Simon Baron Development blends New York's prewar building stock with modern updates and amenities, positioning its apartments as well-appointed, amenity-rich homes for discerning city renters.
