Mr. Lari, 72, is the Iranian-born founder and chief executive of the Claremont Group, a New York-based family business involved largely in residential, office and hospitality developments. Among its current projects are 101 Wall, a luxury condominium conversion, as well as middle-income housing and hotels in Iraq.

..The biggest part of our business is in the Middle East. We’re only in the Kurdish region of Iraq, which is very safe. They’re friends of Americans. We’re building a hotel, Hilton International; we’re building 1,700 homes, villas and apartments; and we’re building a Hyatt Regency.
