The Claremont Group is headed by A. Alexander Lari, a New York University graduate holding both a Bachelors and Masters Degree in Civil Engineering. His experience is equally divided between construction projects and real estate developments in the New York Metropolitan area.

As a principal of a group of construction firms he co-founded in the 1970’s, Lari built large-scale industrial and residential projects overseas. In 1978 alone, the Group, which employed over 5,000 people, completed $130 million in construction.

In 1979, Lari formed the Claremont Group in New York, which soon developed a number of successful real estate projects in the New York Metropolitan area. Projects varied from high-rise condominiums in New York City, to suburban office buildings. The 18-story Claremont House, built in 1988 in the heart of Manhattan’s exclusive Upper East Side Landmark District on East 72nd Street and Park Avenue, is one of the most prestigious and successful projects of its kind.

During the 1990’s, Lari diversified the group into hotel development, and sales and service of construction equipment. With the development of The Claremont Corporate Center in the 1990’s and acquisition of 99 Wall Street in 2004, the group further expanded its development of office building, some of which were leased to the Federal Government. Claremont has built and leased several office projects to the Internal Revenue Service, Social Security Administration, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation. 8 Union Square South, Group’s latest project, is a fifteen-story, $62 Million modern concrete and glass residential tower in Manhattan.

Lari’s commitment to traditional family values and continuity forms the basis of the Group’s next generation of family ownership. Stephen Lari and John Lari, along with a team of over 100 professionals and other employees, oversee day-to-day management of the Claremont Group and its affiliates.

Lari was awarded the 2003 Ellis Island Medal of Honor for outstanding citizenship, individual achievement, and encouragement of cultural unity. The Ellis Island Medal of Honor is sanctioned by the United States Congress. The medals were conceived to pay tribute to the immigrant experience and remarkable individual achievements.

Lari is a Director and member of the Executive Committee of the World Affairs Councils of America National Organization. WACA is a nationwide association of educational member organizations, which serves more than 80 communities across the United States. It is a non-profit, non-partisan association dedicated to educating and engaging the American people in international affairs.

Lari is a fellow of the Foreign Policy Association, a leading New York City based, 88 year-old organization committed to international affairs education.
