FAMILY First A MULTIGENERATIONAL MINDSET FUELS THE FRISBIE FAMILY’S DRIVE TO FOSTER AND PRESERVE THE PALM BEACHES By Linda Marx Photography by Nick Mele 52
A
strong family foundation has given the Frisbie brothers (David, Robert Sr., and Rick) the freedom and inspiration to become successful real estate investors and preservationists. More than a meaningful connection and unshakable bond, working together as a family has become a way of life for the brothers and Frisbie Group, their private real estate investment company headquartered in Palm Beach. Frisbie Group counts 13 out of its 25 staffers as family members from two generations working toward the common goal of properly revitalizing real estate assets in strategic locations to protect and preserve both Palm Beach’s current and future look and feel. “We realize it is extremely rare to have a strong, close, and loving family dynamic such as ours,” says Dave, who began working with his brothers in 1973. The trio got their start restoring brownstones around Boston while they were students at Harvard
