Biography

Dolgin was born to a Jewish family, the son of Israel and Diana Dolgin,[1][5] and raised in Great Neck, New York.[3] He was one of four children: Neil Dolgin (born 1953); Dr. Stuart Dolgin (deceased 2001);[6] and filmmaker Gail Dolgin (1945-2010).[7][8][9] His grandfather, also named Kalmon Dolgin, was an immigrant from Russia who operated a grocery store and then in 1904, founded his own real estate brokerage business in Brooklyn[1] named Kalmon Dolgin Affiliates, Inc.[3] In 1943, Dolgin's father and his uncle, Morris Dolgin, expanded the business into property ownership by purchasing a building in Williamsburg, Brooklyn;[1] they eventually built a portfolio of mostly industrial buildings in Brooklyn and Queens.[3]

Dolgin graduated with a B.A. from Syracuse University and with a J.D. from Syracuse University College of Law. He is also a Member of the Bar of the State of New York and a Licensed Real Estate Broker in New York and New Jersey. In the 1960s, the younger Kalmon joined the firm and in the 1970s, his brother Neil joined the firm.[1] The Dolgin brothers expanded the company's operations from its roots in Brooklyn and Queens into the Bronx, Staten island, Long Island, Manhattan, New Jersey, Connecticut, and Westchester County, New York.[3] In 2004, they acquired for $127 million, a portfolio of seventeen medical office buildings throughout the East Coast of the U.S.[10] In 2005, they purchased a 50% interest in the Long Island City, Queens industrial landmark Falchi Building for $61 million.[11] In 2006, they expanded into Philadelphia, purchasing the Philadelphia Design & Distribution Center for $31 million[12] and in 2007, they acquired the Spring Mill Corporate Center in the Philadelphia suburb of Conshohocken, Pennsylvania for $61 million.[13] Dolgin currently serves as president of both Kalmon Dolgin Affiliates, Inc. and KND Management Co., Inc., and is Of Counsel at the law firm of Agins, Siegel & Reiner.[3] As of 2013, the company has three divisions: a management company, a brokerage, and a development company[14] and is known for the conversion of industrial buildings into commercial and residential use.[15]

Personal life

Dolgin is married to Margaret "Peggy" Dolgin with whom he has three children: Joshua Dolgin, the fourth generation in the family business;[16] Brynn Dolgin; and Daniel Dolgin.[3] Dolgin is a supporter of the Lustgarten Foundation for Pancreatic Cancer Research, the illness that killed his brother.[17] His nephew, Grant Dolgin, is also in the family business.[14][18]
