History

Founded in 1961 by Anthony V. Zehenni after his tenure at Litton Industries directing their Real Estate division, Aladdin Developers, Inc. focused initially on high-end custom homes and large scale above-market quality housing tract development. Several successful projects later in 1966, Aladdin Developers forayed into industrial and commercial development. Successes quickly expanded operations into civil engineering and retail markets, with the achievement of just over $400 million in development by early 1975.

Concurrently, global development initiatives & investments provided myriad opportunities for growth and portfolio expansion, adding to the overall progress of Aladdin Developers.

1982 proved a crucial year in numerous ways, ultimately leading to the consolidation of existing investments, development projects, and assets into a marquee portfolio. Late 1989, continued the trend with expanded investments in new markets and more interesting one’s in existing markets.
