For over 30 years, Core Development Group President and CEO Josh Guberman has been engaged in high-end construction and real estate development in addition to founding and investing in other prominent businesses and entrepreneurial ventures in the Tri-State area.
The born and raised New Yorker grew up on Manhattan’s upper side and attended local public schools through his stint at Bronx High School of Science. He later attended Hunter College, paying his way through school, scooping ice cream at Haagen Dazs, tutoring at Hunter and driving a yellow taxicab by night.
After graduating summa cum laude and earning the prestigious Edgar Dawson Prize for academic excellence, Guberman embarked on a focused mission to create solid businesses that provided jobs and opportunities for his employees while continuing to give value to his clients.
Under the banner of his real estate development companies, Core Development Group and The Guberman Group, Guberman has crafted over twenty boutique buildings, multiple restaurants, commercial and hospitality projects, as well as several ground up condominiums, providing the highest level of service and quality with every undertaking.
The roots of CDG and The Guberman Group date back to the 1980’s with the founding of Franchise Fixtures. Guberman participated in the rapid expansion and roll outs of retail chains, franchises and restaurants but he witnessed growth being hampered because on-site contractors, store managers, regional managers and senior executives were each separately purchasing the interior elements for the site’s construction causing delays and holdups. What was missing was the ability to source all of their interior store fixtures, millwork, lighting, floor coverings, specialty finishes and other FF & E items from one source.
In an effort to address this log jam, Franchise Fixtures was launched in 1985. The company was the first of its kind to source, manufacture or distribute, ship and deliver these critical items to sites around the world so the local general contractor could build the stores without delay. This allowed corporate and management personnel to focus on getting the stores or restaurants properly staffed and operationally sound. This consolidation process created more efficiency, lowered construction costs, and reduced staff time spent on purchasing and managing the delivery of all of the products to the locations. It also significantly reduced rent costs because of the speed this method provided for.
