Jeffrey Soffer
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
Jeffrey Soffer is the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Fontainebleau Development, a premier real estate development group specializing in large-scale lifestyle developments within the hospitality, retail, residential, and commercial sectors. One of the country’s most highly regarded real estate developers, Mr. Soffer has been the steward of Fontainebleau Development’s vision and growth, and his influence can be seen in the creation of multiple award-winning projects in South Florida, Nevada, and abroad.
Mr. Soffer has evolved Fontainebleau Development from a regional leader into one of the most creative and dynamic organizations in modern real estate. Following the company’s acquisition of the historic Fontainebleau Miami Beach resort, Mr. Soffer oversaw a $1 billion expansion, transforming the iconic property into one of the country’s most soughtafter beachfront playgrounds. Famed for architect Morris Lapidus’ emblematic curvilinear façade and whimsical interior elements, the 1,504-room Fontainebleau Miami Beach now features two new luxury all-suite towers; 12 restaurants and lounges; a 40,000-squarefoot spa; and a dramatic oceanfront poolscape.
On December 13, 2023, Fontainebleau Las Vegas, a 67-story luxury resort and casino on the northern end of the Strip, opened to global accolades. Certified by the Green Building Initiative with three Green Globes, Fontainebleau Las Vegas features 3,644 luxury hotel rooms and suites, 550,000 square feet of customizable meeting and convention space, 150,000 square feet of gaming space, a collection of world-class restaurants and shops, exquisite pools, vibrant nightlife, and vitality-enhancing spa and wellness offerings.
Fontainebleau Development’s portfolio also includes JW Marriott Turnberry Resort & Spa, a 300-acre, AAA Four Diamond Mediterranean-style luxury retreat, and the FourDiamond Hilton Nashville Downtown. Additionally, Mr. Soffer has created numerous South Florida residential landmarks, including Turnberry Ocean Colony, Porto Vita, Fontainebleau II and Fontainebleau III, Turnberry Village and expanding the company into suburban Washington D.C. and The Bahamas with successful high-rise residential developments.
Currently, Mr. Soffer is spearheading development of Turnberry Ocean Club Residences in Sunny Isles Beach, a new 54-story ultra-luxurious high-rise tower on the ocean featuring 154 residences ranging from 2,750 to 10,000 square feet. Fontainebleau Development has teamed with Discovery Land Company to bring the 26-estate Atlantic Beach to life. The luxury residences – ranging from 4,000 to 6,000 square feet – feature expansive terraces, sweeping coastal views, and resort style amenities and incentives that include the opportunity to apply for a coveted membership to Discovery Land’s nearby Atlantic Fields community.
