Legend of the Meadlowlands
Jerry Gottesman
Perhaps the region’s most talented homegrown developer, Gottesman built a real estate empire from investments in Edison Parking, Manhattan Mini Storage and commercial and office buildings, including the Hippodrome in New York City. Applying an astute vision steeped in transportation infrastructure-based economic development, Gottesman was a generous supporter of the Meadowlands Chamber transportation advocacy efforts, most notably calling for the extension of the 7 line to Secaucus.
