  • Sheldon Solow risked everything in 1972 to build 9 West 57 Street in New York City, the tower that’s known for its unobstructed views of Central Park.
  • Its current tenants include KKR, Apollo Global Management, Tiger Global Management and Chanel.
  • His son Stefan Soloviev (who uses an older spelling of the family name) now runs Solow Building Co. alongside his dad and is in line to take over.
