CEO of Polimeni International, LLC
Michael J. Polimeni, President and CEO of Polimeni International, leads the company’s strategic planning efforts. His efforts allow the firm to recognize and benefit from real estate growth opportunities here and abroad for the purpose of creating maximum return on investment, while contributing to the quality of life enjoyed by the communities in which they develop.
Mr. Polimeni began his career by launching a New England forestry firm before arriving at Polimeni International, where he worked in literally every capacity within the company. From operations to brokerage, he became a respected landlord representative who was responsive to tenant needs while remaining focused on efficiencies and the firm’s bottom line.
As the Iron Curtain collapsed and democracy came to Eastern Europe, Michael assumed an onsite leadership role in Poland, where Polimeni International built 3.5 million square feet of retail and residential space, allowing the company to become one of the primary commercial developers in a nation that welcomed the rise of an emerging middle class.
Recognizing a coming weakness in the market, Michael departed the Polish market before the arrival of a European recession, redirecting the firm’s overseas profits into American real estate opportunities. Today, Mr. Polimeni is responsible for identifying new growth opportunities that allow for strategic partnerships, visionary land use, and the appropriate application of capital on behalf of creative projects that bring value to its investors.
