<p>We hope you enjoy hearing about Don’s highs, lows, and all the in between moments. Thank you Mr. Soffer for your warm Miami welcome!</p> <p>The legendary Don Soffer was born during the Great Depression in the steel town of Pittsburgh where he'd eventually go on to develop Pittsburgh's first indoor mall in 1965.</p> <p>But that was just the beginning.</p> <p>2 years later, Don and his father Harry purchased 785 acres of swamp land in South Florida - which Don was responsible for developing. He had a vision for this land, which is known today as Aventura. Don would go on to form Turnberry Associates, which owns the Fountain Blue and has developed over $7 billion dollars of real estate to date. Including the Aventura Mall, where this interview actually takes place!</p> <p>If you felt inspired by Don, and want to hear more, check out more content on our social media platforms below:</p> <p><a href='https://www.instagram.com/fromthefounder/'>Instagram</a></p> <p><a href='https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC7fGJVZ5RZrthIvSTnEG_SQ'>YouTube</a></p> <p><a href='https://www.tiktok.com/@fromthefounder'>TikTok</a></p> <p><a href='https://www.linkedin.com/company/68125083'>LinkedIn</a></p> <p><a href='https://twitter.com/FromTheFounder_'>Twitter</a></p> <p><a href='https://www.facebook.com/From-The-Founder-104454797972246'>Facebook</a></p> <p> </p>
