We have developed – through both ground-up construction and rehabilitation/preservation – over 1,300 units of affordable housing throughout New York City, with an additional 500+ units in our immediate pipeline.  We maintain excellent relationships with a variety of City and State financing agencies, local elected officials, Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) syndicators, not-for-profits, general contractors, multi-national banking institutions, and property managers.  This enables us to efficiently and effectively put together a full development team to complete even the most complex projects.

Each of our development projects are carefully designed to meet the specific needs of the population being served by the building.  Our primary focus over the last several years has been supportive senior housing, having brought over 500 units online since 2018 with another 500+ units in the pipeline.  Other project populations have included working families, formerly homeless families, veterans, and persons with physical and/or mental disabilities.

We typically serve as principal developers on our projects, taking on a variety of partners if and as needed. However, we also serve as development consultants whereby we take on the role of developer-for-hire, delivering a turnkey product to our clients on a fee basis.
