Randy Benderson
PRESIDENT, BENDERSON DEVELOPMENT, SARASOTA
Benderson continues to expand the company his grandfather started 75 years ago by redeveloping a Buffalo, N.Y., brewery, becoming one of the country’s largest privately owned real estate development companies. It owns and manages more than 800 properties in 41 states, including retail, office, industrial, hotel and residential properties. The company oversees more than 51 million square feet of commercial space. Benderson also heads the Nathan Benderson Community Park Foundation, named for his late father. He and his wife established the Benderson Family Program for Triple-Negative Breast Cancer at Boston’s Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in 2020. The $5-million gift to the federally designated comprehensive cancer center came after Lori Benderson was treated for the disease.
