With his visionary approach, Douglas L. Elliman transformed real estate into a true profession.
1911
In 1911, Douglas L. Elliman and his brother, Roland, opened Douglas L. Elliman & Company at 421 Madison Avenue. The company was founded on Elliman’s vision that New Yorkers would shift their preference for traditional homes to favor luxury apartments that were both sold and managed by comprehensive real estate companies instead.
1912
Elliman pioneered the residential preference of affluent Manhattanites― from their private townhomes to luxury apartments―with his 1912 rental to celebrity senator, Elihu Root. By placing a high-profile individual at 998 Fifth Avenue, one of New York City’s first luxury apartment buildings, he paved the way for other wealthy New Yorkers to quickly follow suit.

2003
Under its new leadership, the firm maintained and built upon the powerful Elliman legacy to expand into new markets, including Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, Long Island (including the Hamptons and North Fork), Westchester and Putnam Counties, South Florida, and abroad. In addition, Douglas Elliman now offers a comprehensive suite of services to meet our customers’ every need.
