Thomas J. Flatley, 76, RIP
A great member of the real estate community, Thomas Flatley, has passed away today. He is one of the few that did it the right way with hard work and dedication to his craft.
RIP Thomas.
Born in 1921, he grew up on his family’s 25-acre farm in County Mayo, a poor rural region of Western Ireland. He moved to New York at age 19, and enlisted in the US Army for two years, then moved north to Boston. He ran a plumbing business for a few years and soon moved into real estate, building two Quincy apartment buildings with a total of 33 units in 1958.
Though developing commercial buildings would make him rich, those first apartment buildings set the successful model for Mr. Flatley’s lifelong strategy. Eschewing the hassles and expense of urban projects, he built short, flat buildings in the suburbs, rather than monumental skyscrapers. via The Boston Globe.
