RCG’s affordable housing projects, under Roger’s leadership, include award-winning mixed finance and income projects across Upstate New York and in Pennsylvania. The development of industrial and office parks, historic office building renovations, New York’s first wetland mitigation bank, and large multi-use residential communities, exhibit the Company’s varied real estate expertise. Cornerstone Property Managers manages 3800+ units of affordable housing comprised of both RCG developed properties and 3rd party management throughout NYS.
