Who we are:

Mr. Reisner co-founded Parkview Developers with Mati Weiderpass in 2003. Parkview focuses on residential and hotel development in New York City. Projects have included new construction developments, assemblages, and owning and operating a NYC hotel and more. Previously, Mr. Reisner had a 15 year career on Wall Street with Salomon Brothers and then Bank of America where he was a Managing Director running a $200 million derivatives business. Mr. Reisner was also the Vice President and Co-founder of Watch World International, a nationwide chain of 119 specialty stores that was sold to Sunglass Hut International in June 2000. Watch World was as much a real estate as it was a retail play. All 119 stores were planned, designed and constructed by Mr. Reisner and Mr. Weiderpass.

Paul C. Dominguez, Architect -
Managing Director: Architecture & Design
Mr. Dominguez has collaborated with Mr. Reisner and Mr. Weiderpass on
various projects for over 15 years, so it went without saying that
when they founded Parkview Developers, Mr. Dominguez would be the
managing design partner. He has since worked with Parkview on a
variety of projects, including multiple luxury apartment renovations,
design consulting for “THE 505” in Hell's Kitchen, a design proposal
for a 500’ residential tower overlooking Central Park, and most
recently a design proposal of the “FACTORY 5th Avenue," a hotel &
condominium mixed use 58 story tower next to the Empire State
Building. In addition, Mr. Dominguez produced a complete design
package for Watch World International, including the name, logo,
graphics, photography, catalogue, architectural, and interior design.
The specialty store chain grew to 119 locations, including Rockefeller
Center and Trump Tower in New York City.

Having grown up in a French diplomatic family, Mr. Dominguez had an
international upbringing, spending his childhood abroad in Paris,
Berlin, and Santiago de Chile. He received his Bachelor of
Architecture degree from Cornell University, where he was recruited by
Gensler and Associates. He worked in their New York, San Francisco and
Los Angeles offices on projects including The Cornell Club, a retail
master plan for the three airports in New York City, and proposals for
a library/cafeteria building for the Horace Mann School, the Stags'
Leap Winery in Napa Valley, and a master plan for Marina del Rey in
Los Angeles.

Mr. Dominguez left Gensler to join Patrice Llavador as a partner in
his firm in the south of France, where he designed various large-scale
residential projects. Since returning to the United States, Mr.
Dominguez has designed a myriad of projects, including condo and hotel
towers in NYC, retail stores, townhouses in Boston, penthouses in New
York, a residential facade renovation on Central Park South, and a
13-acre estate in East Hampton where he designed a series of formal
gardens as well as the house, outbuildings and interiors.
