Jordon Perlmutter
Jordon Perlmutter was born in 1931 and attended West High School in Denver. At West High, he excelled in athletics, made all-city in football, and played basketball. His athletic ability enabled him to attend the University of Denver on a scholarship. His college education was cut short when he enlisted in the U. S. Coast Guard during the Korean Conflict.
Perlmutter co-founded Perl-Mack Enterprises in 1951 with his cousin, Sam Primack, and his brother-in-law, Bill Morrison, joined the firm as a partner soon after. Perl-Mack Enterprises introduced Denver to the planned community concept by building the communities of Northglenn, Southglenn, and Montbello. In its 32-year history, Perl-Mack Enterprises built and developed more than 22,000 single- and multi-family homes, three regional shopping centers, outdoor centers, office buildings, industrial projects, parks, schools, and community facilities.
In 1983, Perl-Mack Enterprises dissolved, and Jordon Perlmutter and his oldest son Jay founded Jordon Perlmutter & Co. Perlmutter, his sons, and son-in-law teamed up with the Witkin family and developed Buell Mansion, a 116-acre exclusive residential development in Cherry Hills Village, Colorado.
Perlmutter was recognized for his vision and contributions to Colorado real estate development throughout his career. In 1992, Perlmutter was named by the University of Denver as a Dean of Real Estate to exemplify one who helped set a precedent and guidance for the Colorado real estate community, followed in 1995 by becoming a Charter Member of the Burns Society of the Burns School of Real Estate and Construction Management at the University of Denver and was named an Honorary Dean of the School in 2005.
Perlmutter served on numerous boards of directors in the Denver area, including Rose Medical Center and the Anti-Defamation League Executive Committee.
