Early life
Pomeranc was born to a Jewish family, the youngest son of Jack Pomeranc, a real estate developer.[2][3] His parents were both Holocaust survivors.[3] He has two brothers, Larry and Michael.[3] He attended New York University and graduated with a Bachelor's Degree in Finance and a law degree from Cardozo Law School. After graduation, he worked for Rosenberg & Estis, a real estate firm which specializes in large-scale urban development such as the Condé Nast Building at 4 Times Square. In 1997, Pomeranc joined his family's real estate development firm, The Pomeranc Group.
Business
In 2001, his father - with the help of Pomeranc and his two brothers - opened the 60 Thompson hotel in New York City, the first of the Thompson Hotel chain (which now includes the storied Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel).[2] In October 2011, he merged the 12 hotel Thompson Hotel Group with the Pritzker family's 30 hotel Joie de Vivre chain to form Commune Hotels + Resorts[4] with Pomeranc and John Pritzker serving as co-CEOs. In 2014, Jason Pomeranc announced the launch of SIXTY Hotels as part of his new hospitality company, SIXTY Collective, leaving his previous company, Commune Hotels + Resorts.
