In honor of Father’s Day, Haute Residence presents real estate development firms led by father-daughter teams who are working to revitalize the South Florida market and industry at large.

Miki Naftali & Danielle Naftali, Naftali Group

Since 2011, Miki Naftali has served as the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Naftali Group. Throughout his distinguished 35-year career in global real estate, he has developed and managed over $15 billion and 20 million square feet across North America, Asia, Europe, and the Middle East. In New York City alone, his extensive portfolio consists of 18 luxury condominiums encompassing 1,333 residential units. His most notable New York project is the $450 million restoration of the renowned Plaza Hotel. Recognized by The New York Observer, he was ranked number 18 on the publication’s list of Top 100 Most Powerful People in New York Real Estate for his development, marketing, and financial accomplishments.

As a natural result of his success, Danielle Naftali, his daughter, became enamored with the real estate industry. She began as a summer intern at the firm’s reception desk and has now become the Executive Vice President of Marketing and Design. Throughout the years, Danielle has led the company’s planning and design processes, creative branding, innovative marketing, and sales strategy. She was featured in Crain's New York Business Notable Leaders in Real Estate 2022. Today, she continues to evolve the firm alongside her father while actively leading company expansion in South Florida.
