Dermot Company
Michael Hyman oversees luxury operations for the Queens division of the Dermot Company, one of New York City's top private real estate development corporations.
He previously opened The Opal, a luxury residential complex in Kew Gardens Hills, successfully integrating the building with the surrounding residential neighborhood.
Currently he is working on Moda, a development in the heart of Jamaica, combining 346 residential units and 60,000-square-feet of retail space. Moda will be Jamaica's first luxury rental complex.
Like the Opal, Moda will incorporate affordable housing to benefit the surrounding community.
Hyman grew up in Roslyn Harbor, Long Island and graduated from Lehigh University.
He formerly led the sales department of a family business, manufacturing and distributing photo albums.
After the sale of the company, Hyman led a successful career as an equities trader.
Looking for a career path with more human interaction, he obtained his real estate sales license and began his career with the Dermot Company in 2004.
Hyman is an avid traveler, and his most recent sojourns took him to Southeast Asia. He is also an enthusiastic tennis player and competes in various tournaments throughout the year.
