Steven Kassin is Founder and Managing Partner of Infinity Collective. He oversees the company’s operations and portfolio. Steven’s leadership is instrumental in the vision, plan, structuring, and execution of each project or investment. Under his stewardship, Infinity’s team has successfully acquired or developed over 75 properties and has
transacted on over $2.5 billion of real estate investments. Steven has also driven the company’s diversification into an impressive portfolio of growth businesses spanning real estate, hospitality, fitness, health & wellness, fin-tech, and consumer.
Since Infinity’s foray into real estate in 2005, Steven has fueled its legacy focus of “transformative” real estate investing. The company has since established an impressive track record of development and redevelopment projects spanning residential, office, retail, and lodging properties, cementing Steven's reputation as a focused, hands-on owner/operator. Steven is passionate about preserving and rehabilitating neglected historic, landmark-designated properties, in high-visibility and high-value locations. Infinity has thus become a leader in the niche business of reinventing irreplaceable historic properties having completed over 40 such projects in 5 cities to-date.
In recent years, Steven’s intellectual curiosity, deep network, and creativity provided a platform for diversification and cross-pollination through venture capital and other alternative structured investments. This growing portfolio of businesses and ventures has yielded rewarding results for Steven personally, and for Infinity and its partners. Steven serves on the advisory committees and as a board director for several disruptive growth companies.
In October 2015, Steven was honored on Globe Street’s “Fifty Under 40” list of leading young professionals. In 2016, he was named a “Steward of Nature” by the NYC Department of Parks Nature Conservancy for his contributions to neighborhood and green-space planting programs as well as his leadership on other environmental initiatives. In both 2018 and again in 2022, Steven and his partners received multiple awards from the Miami Beach Chamber of Commerce for Historic Preservation and Innovative Hospitality Design for three independent projects completed in those respective years.
Steven graduated from the NYU Stern School of Business. He served on the NYU Stern’s Center for Real Estate’s advisory board (2014-2018) and as the real estate chair on NYU Stern’s Alumni Council (2014-2020). A committed NYU alum, in 2017 he and his two brothers dedicated the Kassin Center at NYU Stern’s Tisch Hall.
Steven lives in the New York area with his wife and two daughters. He has been an avid surfer and mountain sports enthusiast since childhood. He credits his love for surfing, snowboarding, the ocean, and the mountains, with sparking his passion for and commitment to environmental activism.
