Roger Rechler and his brother Donald, formed Reckson Associates in 1968, having sold their Manhasset gift shop to buy their first piece of real estate. Inspired by their father Bill's work developing the trendsetting Hauppauge Industrial Park, the brothers dived headlong into commercial development, building a 200-acre park in Bohemia that Roger's son Gregg Rechler said "reinvented industrial as something that was attractive" for research and development users. Slight marks to cover.
