Silverman Rebound: The Developer Who Lost his Wife to Simon Cowell is Moving On, One Brick at a Time – “Being in the public spotlight is not something I envy. It’s never been my way,” Mr. Silverman said when he sat down for an interview with the Observer last week. “Privacy has tremendous value. I’ve tried to be as quiet as possible even though everyone wants to hear about this hoopla.” Mr. Silverman received us in the conference room of his offices on the fifth floor of a Park Avenue building—a modest space with a set of keys on the reception desk for the locked bathrooms in the hall and tchotckes from the casino the Silvermans own in Panama piled in a corner of the conference room. He was clearly eager to redirect the spotlight that has been trained on him this past year to his business. “I just wanted to refocus on what I do,” he said. “I am a regular person, not a tabloid thing.
