For Arpan Gupta, founder of Fifty Seventh & 7th Luxury Homes, the path to ultra-luxury real estate did not begin with blueprints. It began in a very different professional direction. Before entering the world of residential design and construction, Gupta had pursued a career path that initially seemed far removed from the creative and entrepreneurial work he would later embrace.
"I was accepted into a combined medical program straight out of high school," Gupta says. "But while I was in college, I started buying and remodeling properties. I realized I loved the design and business side of it just as much."
