About Norm Ebenstein
Norman Ebenstein was born on October 23, 1928 in New York City. Son of Samuel and Jeannette Ebenstein, shortly after Norm was born, they moved to Worcester, Massachusetts and he was raised to have a deep understanding and pride in his Jewish heritage. His family also had achieved much throughout their history, which Norm also took great pride in, as he became a strong advocate in the role of education in a person’s life.
In time, Norman became the founder of Capital Commercial Properties and served as the president for 50 years. With his assistance, many shopping centers, malls, residences, and other properties were built. A source of particular pride for him came from working on Eden Center, which was a shopping district in the state of Virginia which was known as a cultural and social center for many Vietnamese natives along the East Coast. There were many other projects Norman took part in that should have a great impact on the lives of many, such as the various non-profit organizations he had a hand in, as well as a foundation he started, which focused on stimulating philanthropy.
