Ian Bruce Eichner (born June 25, 1945)[1] is an American real estate developer and founder of The Continuum Company, LLC.
[2] A mentor of his, Ron Altman, introduced him to Victor Smorgon of Melbourne, Australia who invested $4 million to build a high rise.
[6] Eichner also developed a 32 story tower in Harlem, which will be the neighborhood's tallest building,[7][8] and is proposing to construct four high-rise apartment complexes in Crown Heights, Brooklyn.
[10] In 2017, New York District Attorney announced a settlement with Eichner over his misleading claims and false promises related to the Manhattan Club timeshare.
Eichner and his associates offered a "boutique hotel" but many customers were never able to book rooms, faced rapidly rising maintenance costs, and were foreclosed if they were unable to pay, leading others to sell their shares for $1.
