In this article
No reputable outlet has published a net worth for Asher Handler, and the $23.5 million figure repeated on profile sites has no traceable source. What the public record shows is scale: Handler owns AJH Management, a Lakewood, New Jersey, apartment investment and management company whose affiliates have bought and sold nine-figure apartment complexes, including a 1,068-unit Philadelphia complex bought for $141 million and a Danbury, Connecticut, property sold for $151.8 million in 2025.
What is Asher Handler's net worth?
There is no published estimate from Forbes, Bloomberg or a comparable source, and AJH Management is private. Large apartment deals also say little about one person's wealth: they are usually financed mostly with mortgage debt, often held through single-purpose LLCs, and sometimes owned by or with outside investors. In the Danbury sale, for example, the Hartford Business Journal reported that AJH manages properties for National Property REIT Corp., which announced the sale. For those reasons this page no longer gives a figure.
Yearly income
An earlier version of this page listed an income of about $1 million a year. No source supports that number, and it has been removed. Management fees, rental profits and sale proceeds going to Handler personally are not disclosed.
What does Asher Handler do for a living?
He is the owner of AJH Management, based in Lakewood, New Jersey. The company buys and manages large apartment communities, from suburban garden complexes to high-rise towers. Trade and business press have tied it to deals across Pennsylvania, New York and Connecticut since at least 2019.
Deals reported in the press
| Year | Property | Deal |
|---|---|---|
| 2019 | International City Apartments, Southwest Philadelphia (1,068 units, 64 buildings) | Bought from developer Korman Ventures for $141 million |
| 2019 | One City Place, White Plains, New York (35-story tower) | Bought from a JPMorgan Chase affiliate as part of a $146 million sale (The Real Deal) |
| Jan. 2020 | Infinity Harbor Point, Stamford, Connecticut (about 240 units) | Bought from Clarion Partners for $90 million by two AJH-affiliated LLCs (Westfair) |
| Oct. 2025 | Crown Point Apartments, Danbury, Connecticut (466 units) | Sold for $151.8 million by an LLC controlled by Handler; it last traded in 2018 for $108.5 million |
| Aug. 2026 | International City Apartments, Philadelphia | Listed for sale through Newmark; price not disclosed |
When AJH bought the Stamford building, CBRE's lead broker described the firm as a relatively new entrant to that market and said the purchase would help position it in the Class A apartment segment (New England Real Estate Journal). The price was below the $99 million that Clarion itself paid for the tower in 2014, according to Westfair. The building dates from 2012 and sits on Commons Park in Stamford's Harbor Point waterfront district, about half a mile from the city's train station.
Recent changes (2025-2026)
Two moves stand out. In October 2025, the Danbury sale was one of the highest-priced commercial real estate deals in Connecticut that year, according to the Hartford Business Journal. The buyer was an entity tied to FPA Multifamily's management affiliate. Crown Point's one-, two- and three-bedroom units were built in two phases, in 2007 and 2011, and the price was about $43 million above the property's 2018 sale.
In August 2026, AJH put International City, Philadelphia's largest apartment complex, on the market. The Real Deal, citing the Philadelphia Business Journal, reported that AJH had spent about $5 million on upgrades since buying it. The complex has 92 studios, 513 one-bedroom and 463 two-bedroom units, and it mostly serves workforce renters, with average rents of about $1.60 per square foot. The listing came four years after Philadelphia's second-largest complex, Presidential City, sold for a record $357 million. At International City, 648 units in the Mews and Villas sections have semi-private or private entrances, and all 420 Chalets units have private entrances.
