DAN TEMKIN
Owner

Dan was born and raised in Jersey City, NJ. At the age of 22, he moved to the West Coast and never left (well, at least not for too long). Dan has enjoyed a long and successful career as a commercial real estate investor and developer. He was excited to combine his expertise in real estate with his love for cool buildings to create Block 41. When he’s not busy at work, he might be found cycling, kite boarding in some warm, sunny place, or leading an architectural tour in downtown Seattle.
