Ruben J. Menashe
Founder |
|
RUBEN J. MENASHE was born and raised in Portland. He attended Grant High School and Willamette University where he graduated with a B. A. degree in Economics. Ruben was active in student affairs and sports at both schools. At Grant, he was not only the Student Body President, but also played football on two State Championship teams and earned All City and All State awards. Ruben was also Student Body President at Willamette and earned All Conference honors while playing football, as well as a number of other honors and awards.
Upon graduating from Willamette University, Ruben served
in the U.S. Air Force as an Intelligence Officer. After
returning to the United States from a tour in Japan,
Ruben and a close college friend formed a construction
company in Gilroy, California. It was a very
profitable and educational 2½ years, but Ruben
missed Portland, his family, friends, the greenery
and the rain. He returned in 1962 to start his own
development company in Portland: Ruben J. Menashe,
Inc. The Corporation has earned a reputation for building
quality residential communities and has been continuously
active in single family, multi-family, land and investment
property development for over 45 years.
While Ruben is still actively involved with the company, he is also quite active in the
community, serving many local charitable organizations. After over 40 years in the
development business it's refreshing to know that Ruben is still enthusiastic about Portland,
it's people and his community!

JACK R. MENASHE was also born and raised in Portland, where he attended Parkrose High School. After his graduation from Parkrose, he moved to Claremont, California where he received a B.A. in Economics from Pomona College.
After college, Jack was hired by the Robert Randall Company (now the Randall Group) a Portland-based real estate development firm. Jack was immediately transferred back to Southern California where he gained valuable experience as a property manager for some of the company's larger properties.
Like his father before him, Jack wanted to return to
Portland, his hometown. During his management of a
448 unit property in Lancaster, California, Ruben asked
if Jack would like to be a part of the development
of a new apartment community. That was the impetus
Jack needed, and soon he and Ruben were working closely
on many new single-family and multi-family developments
in the Portland area.
With 20 years of experience in the real estate development business, Jack Is the company's
President, overseeing the Corporation's daily operations; including all construction and
