Jon Paul Pérez: President of global housing developer the Related Group

Jon Paul Pérez became president of Related Group, one of the biggest real estate development firms within Miami-Dade County and the nation, in 2020. Mr. Pérez oversees the operations of the company across its divisions, manages land acquisition efforts, and leads major construction financing. 

He started his work career in 2007 when he moved to New York City to join The Related Companies, where he worked through the end of 2012 when he joined The Related Group in Miami, a company founded by his father, Jorge M. Pérez, in 1979. 

In Miami, he started working in the rental division, where he completed two rental projects before moving to the condominium division. 

“Since that move, I’ve done probably 10 or so projects that are a mix of condominiums and mixed-use, office rental and retail,” he said. 

Since becoming president, he has been clear that he wanted to continue the legacy of his father and continue to be the best. “The priority is to continue to push this forward and continue to grow and expand, and continue to never settle,” he said. 

Mr. Pérez spoke with Miami Today reporter Gabriela Henriquez Stoikow.
