Philanthropists James and Marta Batmasian have made a $1 million gift to Keeping the Promise…The Campaign for Boca Raton Regional Hospital. The gift will be acknowledged with the naming of an iconic sculpture to be located within the new Hagerty Courtyard entitled “Drift.”
The Batmasians are founders of one of the largest family-owned real estate investment firms in the United States. Investments Limited, a sole proprietorship, has grown throughout the decades to encompass retail, residential and commercial properties. The company originated in Cambridge, Massachusetts, expanding into South Florida in the 80s. After relocating to Boca Raton in 1983, the Batmasians had the foresight to begin investing in local shopping centers, amassing properties within their first few years in town. Today, they are among the largest landowners in the County. With a billion-dollar empire reaching from New England to South Florida, the Batmasians have made their mark as two of the country’s most dedicated and successful entrepreneurs.
James and Marta Batmasian currently support more than 65 organizations. They dedicate their personal time and efforts and serve as Board members for several nonprofits, including some outside the US; they also serve on a variety of committees. Causes near and dear to their hearts include helping youth living in economically depressed areas get an education, with many going on to college, and improving the plight of the homeless.
