I love NYC real estate.
With 20 years of experience in Manhattan and Brooklyn, I own, manage and develop boutique buildings and offer expert project consultation to developers and equity partners looking to develop in New York.
I love the challenge of a new project, putting the puzzle pieces together and helping realize it’s maximum potential. Together with my trusted network of attorneys, architects, designers, expediters, lenders and agents, I help clients through every stage of the acquisition and development process.
Development
Creating is my passion. As a graduate of NYU Photography School, I’m visually oriented and love building or repurposing existing structures to fill them with new life. Together with my partners, I focus on conscientious design with neighborhood context in mind.

Consulting
With over 35 projects under my belt, I’ve learned from experience what buyers and tenants want in their homes. I offer consultation for developers on a monthly retainer for any size project- from luxury single-family townhomes to 200+ unit buildings. My services cover every phase of development, from pre-acquisition market studies to architecture, design, marketing and sales.

Multifamily
I believe in the long-term value of NYC multifamily. I have been buying, renovating, leasing, and managing 1-4 family properties in prime areas of Brooklyn since 2007. I also advise clients on how to maximize their rent rolls through redesigning layouts and interior finishes, either for owned properties or potential acquisitions.
