Early life

Friedland was studying to become a pharmacist in the late 1950s when he met Nathan Miller and switched to property.

Career

In 1960, he and his late brother Melvin founded Friedland Properties. His first purchase was in 1962 with the help of Miller, when he bought a number of stores in Harlem including a Bickford’s Coffee Shop, and "needed three mortgages and a loan to pay the $400,000 price tag".

He owns more than 20 buildings on New York City's Madison Avenue, as well as parking garages, parking lots and two luxury apartment buildings in the city. As of October 2015, Bloomberg calculates that his half share of Friedland Properties is worth $1.5 billion.

Personal life

He is married to Marilyn Friedland, and they own a $9.2 million mansion at 50 Wyandanch Lane, Southampton, Long Island.

In 2002, their daughter Elizabeth Alixandra Friedland, a lawyer at Friedland Properties, married Dr. Mark Louis Meyer, the son of Barbara Meyer and Dr. Arthur Meyer of Kingston, Pennsylvania.
