Built World Podcast

Gopal Rajegowda - Executive Vice President, Related Ross

Ben Hoffman & Felipe Azenha

Gopal Rajegowda joined us on The Built World Podcast for a Negroni and a fascinating conversation about his stellar career with Related Companies.

As a first-generation Indian-American, Gopal’s journey began in a New York City suburb before taking him to Cornell University. While his passion for real estate and architecture sparked early, it truly ignited during his time at Columbia University, where he earned an M.A. in Real Estate Development.

Gopal’s first big splash at Related Companies was The Cosmopolitan in Las Vegas, where he played a pivotal role in retail, hospitality, and placemaking. Post-Vegas, he shifted gears to the monumental Hudson Yards project in NYC. By 2013, Gopal turned his focus to Related’s West Palm Beach portfolio, and by 2016, he made WPB home, spearheading the redevelopment of CityPlace and the Hilton Hotel at the Palm Beach Convention Center.
