A former associate in the fixed-income department at Salomon Brothers, John Salib has served as managing principle with Castellan Real Estate Partners since 2007. Charged with overseeing all aspects of the firm’s operations and investment activity, John Salib leads the company in enhancing properties through energy-conserving renovations.
Relying on ongoing relationships with New York organizations such as the Harlem Community Development Corporation (HCDC) and the Community Environmental Center in Brooklyn, Castellan has secured more than $1.7 million in grants from the New York State Weatherization Assistance Program (WAP). Using these funds, the company has improved energy efficiency across multiple properties through measures such as replacing oil-burning boilers with boilers that have dual capacity to burn oil and natural gas and replacing single-pane windows with energy-efficient models.
Castellan also participated in a solar panel project sponsored by the HCDC. In recognition of its lobbying efforts and strong support for the program, the company was selected to install solar panels on the roof of the property at 148 West 141st St.
