About Us

Expertise and Experience

We are one of New England’s premier privately held real estate development companies, with a three-decade track record of bringing some of the region’s most profitable projects to market. Our strength is based on our ability to manage every aspect of a project, including site acquisition, financing, construction, sales, and property management.

Diverse Real Estate Portfolio

Even through the most challenging investment climates, we’ve been able to build a highly diversified real estate portfolio while maintaining a strong, low-leverage balance sheet, giving us the ability to capitalize on virtually any opportunity. We also have the agility to respond to a rapidly changing marketplace, by successfully navigating the financial, regulatory, and environmental landscapes. These attributes have enabled us to generate significant value for our financial and operational partners while affording our tenants a reliable foundation upon which to build their businesses.

Commercial and Residential

We have significant experience in the construction and sale of retail, multi-unit residential, mixed use, light industrial, research and development, and unique single-family properties. While we specialize in managing the projects in our own portfolio, we also manage an array of properties for other clients, forging the same strong relationships we’ve built with our own tenants.

We are actively involved in the acquisition of existing multi-unit commercial and residential properties of all types.
