R. Randy Lee
Leewood Real Estate Group

R. Randy Lee, co-founder of the Staten Island, N.Y.-based law firm Lee & Amtzis, LLP and CEO of the residential development company Leewood Real Estate Group, recently was presented with a Lifetime Achievement Award by the Staten Island Economic Development Corporation (SIEDC) for his philanthropic efforts to improve the borough of Staten Island.

“It is a great honor to receive this award from the Staten Island Economic Development Corporation,” said Lee. “Having lived and worked in Staten Island all my life, I have always taken pride in this borough and will continue to do whatever I can to make Staten Island the best it can be.”

Lee has developed more than 1,000 homes on Staten Island, many of them affordable condominiums and apartments, as well as several retail sites. His philanthropic efforts on Staten Island have also included helping many non-profit organizations, including the Jewish Community Center of Staten Island, Project Hospitality and the Community Agency for Senior Citizens. Lee also serves as the executive vice chair of the SIEDC board of directors.

Lee also has been involved in various senior capacities with the Urban Affordable Housing Coalition, the New York State Affordable Housing Association and the New York State Title Attorneys Bar Association.

Within the industry, he is chairman of the board of the Building Industry Association of New York City (BIANYC), a senior life director for NAHB and chairman of NAHB’s Legal Action Committee. Lee also was recently inducted into the New York State Builder’s Hall of Fame and was named Man of the Year by BIANYC.
