Peter Kalikow
Peter Stephen Kalikow (born December 1, 1942) is president of H. J. Kalikow & Company, LLC, a New York City-based real estate firm. He is a former chairman of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA), former commissioner of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey and past owner and publisher of the New York Post.
Peter Stephen Kalikow was born on December 1, 1942, and raised in Forest Hills, Queens, the firstborn son of Juliet (née Citrin) and Harold J. Kalikow. Peter’s family is Jewish.
His grandfather Joseph Kalikow emigrated to the United States from Russia in 1899 and began the Kalikow real estate dynasty by developing housing on large tracts of undeveloped farmland in Queens in the 1930s. By the 1950's Joseph and his sons made a small fortune from the post-World War II housing boom having built over 20 six-story apartment buildings.
After graduating from Hofstra University, Kalikow began his career in real estate in 1967.
His first building was the Park Kensington, completed in 1969 in Great Neck.
In the late 1970 Kalikow befriended Alfred Momo, a former car racing team manager who worked for Jaguar. The two collaborated to create the Momo Mirage. The concept was featured on the front cover of the December 1971 issue of Road & Track. Due to the market and economic situation in Italy where the car was being produced, only a handful examples were built.
In 1973 Kalikow shifted his full attention to real estate. By 1984 Kalikow had built over 10 residential properties, including the office building 101 Park Avenue in midtown Manhattan, and acquired several other properties, including one in London. He acquired 195 Broadway in 1983.
In 1988, Kalikow purchased The New York Post from Rupert Murdoch for $37.6 million. In 1993, Kalikow declared bankruptcy and lost the newspaper, which was eventually purchased by Murdoch's News Corporation.
