Josh Mann - NJBA President

Josh M. Mann, Esq. is the Co-Founder and Co-Managing Partner of Iron Ore Properties. Mr. Mann has direct responsibility for strategic planning, acquisitions, operations, legal and governmental relationships and the execution of the Company’s Stabilized, Value-Add and Distressed Projects.
Prior to forming Iron Ore, Mr. Mann was a Partner and General Counsel at Seaview Capital Partners Limited Liability Company, where he managed the Company’s acquisitions, development projects, acted as counsel on all transactions and management decisions and helped oversee and create unique deal structures which returned well above-market investment returns. During Mr. Mann’s Seaview tenure, he grew Seaview from a small distressed debt shop to a significant holder of value-add and stabilized real estate.  Seaview’s stabilized and value-add portfolio increased in equity value approximately 115% in the four years of Mr. Mann’s tenure, and the average IRR for distressed asset deals was over 28%.

Mr. Mann started at Seaview after 10 years as an attorney and three years as a partner at two of New Jersey’s largest law firms.  While in private practice, Mr. Mann represented clients in large scale redevelopment projects, in complex transactions and financings and applications before land use boards throughout the state.  Additionally, Mr. Mann represented investment funds and individuals in the acquisition and disposition of distressed debt portfolios and investments.  Mr. Mann has helped draft legislation and testified before both State Assembly and Senate Legislative Committees on matters concerning both redevelopment and distressed assets.  While a full-time practicing attorney, Mr. Mann was named “40 under 40” by the New Jersey Law Journal and the Metropolitan Builders and Contractors Association. Mr. Mann is a graduate of Syracuse University, where he majored in Broadcast Journalism and Political Science, and Rutgers Law School in Newark, where he served as a Governor’s Executive Fellow through the Eagleton Institute of Politics. He is currently the President of the New Jersey Builders Association, and previously served as Treasurer and Vice President of the Metropolitan Builders and Contractors Association. Mr. Mann is also a member of the Emerging Leader’s Council of the Rutgers School of Real Estate, where he teaches a class on Real Estate Law to MBA students.
