Exclusive | Inside the Alexander brothers’ opaque real estate empire as they’re sentenced to 30 years for sex crimes 



Two of the Alexander brothers worked in luxury real estate — but were they the real deal?

On Tuesday, as three Alexander brothers — Tal and twins Oren and Alon — were sentenced in Manhattan Federal Court to 30 years each for the heinous and “monstrous” crimes of drugging and raping scores of women over a decade, The Post takes a look at their smoke-and-mirrors lifestyle.

The siblings were accused of using their luxury lifestyle as a way to lure unsuspecting women into their orbit.

Their lives in New York included renting trophy apartments, but never owning them.

One apartment was at 432 Park Ave., while the other was at 158 Mercer St. where Mark Madoff, the eldest son of the late Ponzi scammer Bernie Madoff, hanged himself in 2010.

And while Oren, 39, and Tal, 40 flew on private planes, they were there as rich people’s guests, allegedly “luring” high-net-worth men to coke- and sex-fueled parties as a way to recruit, and to keep, clients, several top brokers told The Post.

“That is just the tip of the iceberg,” said one broker who knows some women who attended the parties and helped recruit other women. “These guys were too young to make that much money. They were looking for entree to the upper echelons of high risk business relations — through the parties and the women.”

(The eldest brother, Niv Alexander, married to cruise heiress Cassie Arison, has not been accused of any crime and has stayed out of the spotlight, while a younger brother, Oren’s twin Alon — who worked in security and was married to Shani Zigron, who has not been accused of any crime — was also charged and convicted of sex-trafficking crimes.)

The home that Tal Alexander rented at 432 Park, which Oren once shared, was home to Tal’s estranged wife — who filed for divorce in January 2025, just weeks after the horrific allegations surfaced — and child until April 2025. Oren and Alon’s wives were not in court on Tuesday, nor were the brothers’ parents.

Outside of Manhattan, Oren, Tal and Alon still have a stake in a Florida home and, through a family-linked company, an Aspen ranch, records show.

The three bought a site at 3541 Flamingo Drive in Miami Beach in 2014 for around $3.42 million, developed a mansion there with their father, Shlomy, and sold it in 2023 for $27.5 million.

In 2020, Oren paid $10 million for 2135 Lake Ave. on the Sunset Islands, demolished the house and built a 10,000-square-foot mansion. He and his wife, Brazilian model Kamila Hansen, then sold it in June 2025 for $51.5 million.

In 2020, Tal paid $3.1 million for a half-acre lot at 2687 Flamingo Drive, where the family’s Alexander Group built a house. Tal sold it for $33 million to a land trust managed by Joseph Lebowicz, in a deal that closed in the summer of 2026, according to reports. Google Earth

Also in 2020, Tal paid $3.1 million for a half-acre lot at 2687 Flamingo Drive, where the family’s Alexander Group built a house. Tal sold it for $33 million to a land trust managed by Joseph Lebowicz, in a deal that closed in the summer of 2026, according to reports.

The brothers still hold 1611 W. 24th St. on the Sunset Islands through an LLC managed by Oren, which bought it in 2021 for $9.8 million. It was listed for rent at $55,000 a month in April 2025, and the family was still renting it out as of September 2026. City National Bank’s foreclosure suit on that house was dismissed with prejudice earlier this month.

A family-linked company also bought a 48-acre ranch outside Aspen in 2020 for $3.3 million.

The Alexander brothers’ real estate colleagues also called them difficult to deal with.

“As brokers, they were ruthless and found ways to kick other brokers off deals,” said one, explaining that they misrepresented their role in the record-breaking Ken Griffin deal at 220 Central Park South, because they portrayed themselves as having a relationship with the developer and the residences that they did not have.

“Tal tried to handle the deal but he was so incompetent that [Douglas Elliman CEO] Howard Lorber had to come in. Tal only got the deal because he led Ken Griffin to believe that he was the only who had access to the apartments” that Griffin wanted to buy, a source with knowledge of the deal told The Post on Tuesday.

After the sentencing, the source said: “It’s telling that not a single person in the real estate community stood up for them. They were despised.”

For now, it’s still difficult to know the full extent of their real estate holdings and what they will be able to keep, real estate lawyers say.

“If they sell anything, any money from any sale would have to go to repay any victims who are plaintiffs — and there are civil as well as criminal lawsuits. It will be interesting to find out if they did any asset protection,” said one lawyer familiar with asset hiding and protection.

“My feeling is that they probably moved quickly to protect their assets. But there is also at least one divorce, and that process is its own colonoscopy. It’s possible that they [stashed assets] offshore, but the likelihood of success is not very high. When your focus is staying out of jail, everything else is secondary and these guys at a certain point realized that their entire lives were collapsing around them.”
