Arthur’s father died when Arthur was only 16. Faced with tough circumstances, he became a go-getter while still a teenager. Despite only being an average student, Arthur managed to be accepted into the Harvard Business School, where he received an MBA. After six years working for another real estate developer, Arthur opened his own company, built the Bostonian Hotel and focused on affordable housing. The Winn Companies now manage over 100,000 units and employ over 3,000 team members.
