Tom Vogel joined Rabina in 1989 and oversees the daily operations of the company, including finance, property and asset management, as well as human resources. Additionally, Tom oversees the portfolio of non-real-estate-based investments and has executed some of the company’s most challenging and complicated real estate transactions.

Tom led the restructuring of a portfolio of Mello Roos Bonds in California that were purchased at $.34 and sold over par. He also converted an unsecured guarantee claim into 50.1% ownership of a 400,000 sf office building in NYC that ultimately sold for $231 million. He has overseen the improvement of a Stanford White-designed office building in Midtown South that has appreciated in value during Rabina’s ownership from $100 psf to more than $1,500 psf. He has also coordinated the Skier’s Roundtable for 23 years, which has inspired the drive for creating community at all of Rabina’s properties, specifically in the latest development project at 520 Fifth Avenue.

Prior to joining Rabina, Tom worked in the U.S. House of Representatives, as the CFO of a private Art Dealer and as a vice president at Chase Manhattan Bank. Tom received his BA from Pomona College.
