Raanan Katz moved to the United States in the hopes of becoming an NBA basketball player. He was an impressive three point shooter on the Israeli national team and moved to the United States in 1962 to try out for the Boston Celtics.

In 1979, he moved to Miami, Florida and started to purchase commercial properties. His company was eventually re-branded as RK Centers.
