Meet the Business Owner

Jose P.

Business Owner

After successfully opening and running his first supermarket, Jose Perez went on to own and operate four supermarkets. Although, the supermarket business was a lucrative investment, Jose Perez started to see a problem that had not been adequately addressed throughout the South Bronx. Numerous neighborhoods desperately needed renewal and he felt he could steer Mastermind into a company with the ingenuity and resources required to engage in this project of urban development. With a clear vision aimed at the building and leasing of property to add to the rebirth of some of the most important communities in New York City, Jose began buying land at city auctions in 1990 and built his first structure in 1994. Once he started construction, he immediately found enormous interest in the properties from both local entrepreneurs and national retailers. Mastermind’s first building was leased a week after placing one ad in a local newspaper.
