Early life and education

Vladislav Doronin was born on November 7, 1962 in Saint Petersburg, Russia. He graduated from the Moscow Lomonosov State University. In 1991, he launched Capital Group.[5]

Business career

In 1985, he relocated to Geneva and then to Zug, where he worked under Marc Rich.[6] Doronin started Capital Group in 1991 as a commodity trading company.[5] In 1993, Capital Group entered the Moscow commercial real estate market with class A offices and retail projects. Over time, its portfolio expanded with deluxe and business class residential developments. Capital Group has built up its portfolio to include 71 high-end residential and commercial projects with a total of 7 million square meters of space.[7]

In February 2014, Vladislav Doronin became Aman Group's majority owner.[8] The Aman Group is the holding company of Aman Resorts, a collection of international luxury resorts. In July 2014, Doronin and a minor shareholder were involved in a legal dispute regarding leadership of the group. As of September 2014, that dispute was still not fully resolved.[9] In March 2016, the High Court in London confirmed that a settlement had been reached between Doronin and KPMG, liquidators for Amanat's PHRL company.[10] The new holding company of the luxury hotel chain is called AH Overseas Ltd.[11] As a result of the settlement, Doronin has full control over Aman Resorts.[12][13]

In April 2015, Vladislav Doronin purchased floors 4-24 of the Crown Building on Fifth Avenue in New York for $500 million.[14] In October 2017, Aman announced that the property would be the new location for Aman New York, the company's second urban destination after Aman Tokyo.[15] Aman New York will be a condo and hotel combination, including 20 condos ranging in size from 1,140-square feet to a 14,000-square-foot penthouse which will sell for over $100 million.[16]

Doronin's real estate development company OKO Group announced in March 2016 a luxury residential development of a 649-foot, 57-story tower, Missoni Baia, in collaboration with Italian fashion house Missoni.[17] The building's architect is Hani Rashid of Asymptote Architecture, the project's landscaping is by Swiss landscape architect Enzo Enea, and the interiors were designed by New York-based Paris Forino.[18][19]

In October 2016, Doronin and OKO Group announced that they had hired Adrian Smith+Gordon Gill Architecture to design a condo tower in Miami's Brickell neighborhood.[20]

Doronin owned the publishing rights in Germany and Russia to Interview magazine, the style magazine founded by Andy Warhol.[21]

In 2020, construction began on the second tallest office building in Miami-Dade, 830 Brickell. OKO Group and Cain International are creating this project together, which is a 57 story office tower and the first new office skyscraper built in Miami in over a decade.[22] The project is designed by Adrian Smith + Gordon Gill Architecture with interior designs by Iosa Ghini Associati.[22] A second partnership between OKO Group and Cain International in Miami is also taking place with Adrian Smith + Gordon Gill Architecture, with the development of a 47-story residential tower called Una on the Brickell Waterfront.[23]

Personal life

Doronin has an apartment in Capital City, a residential complex he developed in Moscow in 2003. His residence is a penthouse designed by the Italian architect Massimo Iosa Ghini. He also owns a private residence, Capital Hill Residence, outside of Moscow, the only private residence designed by architect Zaha Hadid.[24] Doronin was married to Ekaterina Doronina from 1988 until 2009. He was in a relationship with English supermodel Naomi Campbell from 2008 until 2013.[25]

Doronin is the father of four children with his ex-wife Ekaterina Doronina and partner Kristina Romanova.

In August 2016, Doronin was included in Surface Magazine’s Power 100 list of prominent individuals, including 15 in real estate and hospitality.[24]

According to Building.ru Doronin is one of the top ten most professional developers in Russia.[26] His OKO Tower in central Moscow is 1,160 feet high, making it Europe’s tallest completed skyscraper.[27] Doronin was acknowledged as the head of the list of “Top 1000 Russian Managers Rating 2011,” in the category of Development.[28] Doronin was named one of the “Kings of Russian Real Estate” by Forbes in 2014.[29] In 2015, the New York Post recognized Doronin on their list of "The 20 biggest power players in New York City real estate."[30]
