A&E Real Estate was founded in 2011 to invest in multifamily properties in the New York City metropolitan area with a focus on workforce housing. A&E acquires, operates, improves and manages the properties, and currently owns more than 10,000 apartments in New York City. A&E performs direct asset management, property management, and construction management for its entire portfolio, with a belief that no third party manager will bring the same degree of focus and attention to detail.
