Biography

Dezer was born in a working-class family in Tel Aviv, Mandatory Palestine, the son of a bus driver. He served in the Israeli Air Force.

In 1962, he immigrated to the U.S. where he went to night school and worked in advertising before starting a typesetting business. He then started investing in real estate and founded Dezer Properties in New York City which focused on the Chelsea neighborhood, which was then transitioning into an arts community from its former identity as a manufacturing center. As of 2013, Dezer owns and manages 1.3 million square feet of commercial space in Chelsea.

In the 1980s, he purchased a number of ocean front plots in Miami and, in partnership with Donald Trump, developed numerous properties including the $900 million Trump Towers, the $600 million Trump Grande Ocean Resort and Residences and the $166 million Trump International Hotel and Tower in Sunny Isles Beach.

Dezer is also the landlord of the luxury auto retailer Manhattan Motorcars.

Criminal probe

In May 2017, Brazilian Federal Police launched "Operation Miami Connection" to shut down a money laundering scheme it accused Dezer Properties of being involved in. Dezer Properties is behind the Porsche Design Towers Brava, a luxury condominium to open in 2022 that is being marketed to foreigners in Praia Brava on Santa Catarina Island in Brazil. The Brazilian authorities alleged that a contractor laundered more than R$12 million (US$4 million) through Dezer Properties as "licensing fees" paid to Porsche SE. According to Brazilian media, the FBI and the Brazilian federal police are cooperating on the investigation, which involves three businessmen from the United States and Germany.
