Lev Leviev: Shaya Boymelgreen
built 614 days ago
Lev Leviev and Shaya Boymelgreen have set the terms to their break-up. The two were a seemingly ubiquitous part of the city's recent real estate building boom, but not any more. Still, like most breakups, theirs will linger until it's permanent.

Leviev is involved in the construction of Israeli settlements in the West Bank. Leviev’s Danya Cebus company, a subsidiary of Africa-Israel, subcontracted the construction of Mattityahu East on the land of the Palestinian village of Bil'in to Shaya Boymelgreen. Danya Cebus is ... building part of Har Homa, the strategic settlement block that divides Jerusalem from Bethlehem, and Maale Adumim which divides the northern and southern West Bank.[4] In 1999, Leviev's company Danya Cebus announced plans to build new homes in the settlement of Ariel[5], which reaches up to 13 miles inside the West Bank, cutting off the northern West Bank from the rest of the West Bank. It is not clear if this construction was implemented. Through another subsidiary, LIDAR, Leviev appears to be the sole realtor/developer of the settlement of Zufim, built on the agricultural lands of the village of Jayyous.[6]
Real estate tycoon Shaya Boymelgreen and longtime business partner Lev Leviev have gone their separate ways. Boymelgreen is leaving one Israeli millionaire (Leviev) for another (Nochi Dankner), and will turn his attention from Brooklyn developments--condos in Park Slope, Beacon Tower in Dumbo-- toward the riches of India.

The New York-based Leviev Boymelgreen Developers and Gruzen Samton LLP, a local architecture firm, began the renovation in July of 2005. Armani/Casa has provided the interior design of the building. Upon completion in the summer of 2007, 20 Pine will consist of 408 units. More than 60 percent of the residences are currently sold.
Leviev and his former US partner Shaya Boymlegreen have ... angered New Yorkers with their abusive local developments schemes. Leviev has invested $1 billion in real estate in New York City over the last year. In New York City, Leviev and Boymelgreen have employed underpaid, non-union workers in hazardous conditions and violated housing codes to construct luxury apartments that displace low-income and moderate-income residents in Brooklyn, provoking local branches of the Laborer`s International Union and ACORN to launch a campaign against these abuses ( www.shayaiscoming.org). Brooklynites remain concerned that Leviev and Boymelgreen are key developers in the planned Gowanus Village project.

Lev Leviev’s holding company, Africa Israel, is gobbling up property here in the United States as fast as it can finance. In December it bought the Chase Manhatten building in lower Manhatten for $170 million, in partnership with Israeli-born developer Shaya Boymelgreen.
