O´connor Capital Patners - 05110 Ciudad de México

Jeremiah W. O’Connor, Jr. began his career at Lazard Frèrès & Co. where, with their sponsorship, he helped found Corporate Property Investors (“CPI”), one of the first private REITs. As Chief Investment Officer, Jerry helped develop CPI into a leading real estate investment firm with a Class A investment portfolio of retail and office assets. Significant holdings included the General Motors Building in New York, Lenox Square Mall in Atlanta, and Roosevelt Field on Long Island.

Jerry started The O’Connor Group (now known as O’Connor) in 1983 and continued to focus much of his effort in the shopping center industry, investing in and developing many notable properties, among them The Westchester in White Plains, New York and Menlo Park Mall in Edison, New Jersey. From its beginnings as primarily a retail specialist, the firm expanded into the investment advisory and private equity real estate businesses. This fiduciary investment and asset management portion of the O’Connor business is now known as O’Connor Capital Partners.

Jerry was an early pioneer in the development of the regional mall business. He was a past president of the International Council of Shopping Centers. He enjoyed every detail of development including selecting the art for the properties. In Menlo Park, a sculpture with six children playing over a puddle serves as a memento of Jerry’s most important accomplishment, his children.
