Jan brings a distinct style and personal sensitivity to B2K Development's leadership, its real estate portfolio, and various real estate related businesses. His vast experience and unique insight allow him to spot hidden opportunities, niche demands within the marketplace, and keenly anticipate market trends that may otherwise go unseen. This perception has paid off by creating tremendous value for partners and stakeholders in the form of adaptive reuses of underutilized properties, outstanding developments, diverse communities, and vast portfolios. With an MBA in Finance from Syracuse University, Jan started his career as a CPA. Eventually, he was drawn to real estate and began purchasing foreclosed and corporate-surplus properties, and then transformed them into millions of feet of multi-tenanted buildings. Decades later, he added residential real estate to his repertoire, leading the B2K Development foray into a portfolio of thousands of diversified residences. Perhaps most notably, Jan significantly raised the bar in the assisted living industry with The Bristal Assisted Living communities, bringing high-quality, care-focused, amenity-filled communities to the market. Today The Bristal remains the preeminent brand in the industry. Jan is actively involved in both business and philanthropic communities, having held many board positions, contributing his time and resources to causes he is passionate about, and being recognized extensively for his leadership. Currently, he serves on the board of directors of the United Nations Development Corporation, St. Francis Hospital, the Community Development Corporation of Long Island, and the Advisory Board of the Nassau County Police Department Foundation. Jan has recently been recognized as Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year in 2014, and in 2015 was inducted into the Long Island Business News Hall of Fame. Mr. Jan Burman, president of B2K Development, has been named the 2014 Ernst & Young Family Business Industry Entrepreneur of the Year for the New York Region. The award, which celebrates America's most innovative business leaders, is one of the nation's most prestigious business award programs. It recognizes entrepreneurs who have demonstrated excellence and extraordinary success in such areas as innovation, financial performance, risk, and personal commitment to their businesses and communities. "I am genuinely honored to be presented with this award and I would like to thank the judges for their decision and my father for providing me with the work ethic that has guided me throughout my career," said Jan Burman.
