Bernie Glieberman, a visionary in urban development, left behind a legacy that profoundly reshaped the real estate landscape. Taking over his family's real estate holdings at just 17, Bernie quickly became a leader in the industry. By 21, he was a partner in a real estate firm, and by 31, he bought out his partner's shares, solidifying his place as a pioneer. Known for his work on brownfield sites and creating the first New Urbanism traditional community, Bernie was always on the cutting edge of development. Over his distinguished career, he developed more than 30,000 housing units and was among the first to build HUD 235 homes. His dedication to the City of Detroit and his passion for real estate, inherited from his father and grandfather, were unparalleled. Bernie was also a longtime member of the Harvard Joint Center for Housing, a past president of the Homebuilders Association, and a former Board Chair of the Michigan State Housing Development Authority. His contributions to the field earned him numerous illustrious awards throughout his lifetime. A tireless worker and visionary CEO, Bernie's impact on urban development will be felt for generations to come. His passing marks the end of an era, but his achievements will continue to inspire those who follow in his footsteps.
