Philip Pilevsky is perhaps best known as the founder, owner, and CEO of Philips International, and as one of the leading experts in property acquisition, development, and management in the United States. Philips International rose to prominence first in New York City, and then throughout the country, largely because of the company’s unique attention to building design and purpose. For Philips International, a legacy of excellence in real estate practices means realizing that a building should be a reflection of the purpose for which it is being used. This means designing hotels that provide a unique and intimate atmosphere for guests. It means designing office spaces that reflect a desire for professionalism and communication. It also means renovating older buildings while staying true to their original design and spirit. For more than thirty years, Philip Pilevsky, with his sons, Michael Pilevsky and Seth Pilevsky, has been a key player in the New York real estate market, purchasing and repurposing often under-appreciated properties for the benefit of the city as a whole.
Philip Pilevsky, the man responsible for the success of Philips International, graduated from Columbia University in the heart of the city where he would eventually make his mark. By 1974, Philips International was focusing its efforts largely on retail properties, while balancing work with commercial and residential investments as well. With the help of his sons, Michael and Seth Pilevsky, Philip Pilevsky grew his company from this humble beginning to one of the largest privately-owned real estate development and property management organizations in New York City. Currently Philip, Michael Pilevsky, and Seth Pilevsky oversee all aspects of ownership, leasing, acquisitions, sales, development, and property management for more than two hundred properties across the United States. This experience and success has earned Philip Pilevsky the position as an adjunct professor at New York University, where he also serves on the advisory board of the Schack Institute of Real Estate.
Beyond real estate, Philip Pilevsky is also an accomplished author, having published his first book in 1989, “Captive Continent: The Stockholm Syndrome in European-Soviet Relations”. An interest in history drove him to explore and write about the shift in Western European sympathies at the time towards a more nationalistic neutralism. He also published a second book in 2007 titled, “I Accuse: Jimmy Carter and the Rise of Militant Islam”. It is clear from his publications that Philip Pilevsky has a keen eye for history, something that has helped him respect the historical culture of the city in which he does most of his real estate development. This respect for history and culture has insured that each of his properties fits the cityscape of New York City, and reinforces the stated aim of Philips International, of supporting American culture through neighborhood revival.
Indeed, when it comes to both residential and commercial real estate, Philip, Michael Pilevsky, and Seth Pilevsky have left their mark on many neighborhoods in New York City, including Queens, Brooklyn, and Staten Island. The company currently owns more than two hundred buildings across the United States that include retail space, condominiums, office centers, residential housing and, of course, hotels.
