As President of Birnbaum Companies and its subsidiaries, Birnbaum Real Estate and The Warrior Factory, I strive to continue my family’s legacy of commitment to the local Rochester community.As the 3rd generation of my family’s real estate business, Birnbaum Real Estate, we’ve built and managed more than a quarter of a million square feet of office, retail and industrial property across five states. I’m proud of our ability to adapt to the ever-changing real estate landscape, allowing us to help grow the economic base for communities that we serve across New York State and beyond.I am actively involved in Rochester’s growing startup community where I serve as an investor, advisor or board member for half a dozen start-up enterprises that range from technology to education. I’m proud to see these ventures grow and evolve as they find their niche within the marketplace. After many years of investing in other people’s ideas, a number of years ago I began investing in my own with the founding of The Warrior Factory, an obstacle course training center.I am always open to networking with other professionals, entrepreneurs and potential clients whether to share ideas or resources. I am most actively interested in commercial real estate, franchising, start-up opportunities or other great ideas to grow the Rochester or regional economy and give back to our vibrant community.The best way to reach me is via LinkedIn or email at Bernard@BirnbaumCompanies.com. Thank you.
