From Nightclub Promoter to $20M Hamptons Developer | Michael Frank | BAT Disrupt

He went from promoting nightclubs to building $20 million homes in the Hamptons. Michael Frank's path to becoming one of the East End's most respected developers is nothing like what you'd expect. What you'll learn: • How Michael Frank went from nightclub promoter and marketing employee to visionary Hamptons developer • Why new zoning codes are quietly reshaping what gets built on the East End • The difference between speculative building and design-forward development with real integrity • What today's luxury buyers actually expect from a ground-up Hamptons home in 2025 Michael Frank is a Hamptons-based developer known for design-forward new construction across the East End. His builds in Amagansett, Sagaponack, and beyond are redefining what modern Hamptons architecture looks like. Filmed inside one of Frank's newest builds in Amagansett Lanes, currently represented by BAT. BAT Disrupt is hosted by Matt Breitenbach — born and raised in the Hamptons, Managing Principal Broker and CEO of the Breitenbach Advisory Team (BAT). Twenty years in this market. Over $3 billion in career sales. He started at 22, crossed $1 billion in sales before 30, and has represented NBA champions, hedge fund principals, and entertainment executives across some of the most significant transactions on the East End — including the $85M former Calvin Klein oceanfront estate.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
