Fisher Brothers Senior Partner Steven Fisher Dies at 63 

Steven Fisher, the senior partner at commercial management and ownership firm Fisher Brothers, passed away on Monday at the age of 63 due to complications from a recent medical procedure. 

Fisher was part of the third generation of the Fisher family to oversee the firm, which controls several Midtown office buildings. During his 40 years at the company, he helped turn its construction management arm, Plaza Construction, into one of the largest general contractors in the city.  

Apart from his contributions to the family business, Fisher was also the founder and chairman of Fisher Capital Investments, the venture capital arm of Fisher Brothers, which invested in startups like Lyft and sports water manufacturer AQUAhydrate. He was also actively involved in various non-profit organizations, including the Intrepid Sea, Air and Space Museum, the New York State Trooper Foundation, and the Police Athletic League.
