Duke Equities/Duke Properties

Duke has a demonstrated history of value-add investment and is comprehensively positioned in a variety of communities across New York City. Duke's core focus relies on profitably investing in local communities in a way that benefits both our residents and partners alike. Committed to excellence, by dissecting distressed assets at a granular level and meticulously unlocking value, Duke provides a gateway for both risk averse and opportunistic partners looking to access equity pools in the burgeoning areas of New York’s multifamily housing market. Duke prides itself on providing safe, affordable housing for its residents. We have maintained our focus on residential real estate in our core markets for the last 20 years. As such, our knowledge of local markets is one of our strengths. We are able to avoid the threats, fulfill the obligations and exploit the opportunities in these markets in order to produce superior risk-adjusted returns. We are tactical and shrewd in our analysis of the niche markets we operate within; taking older and distressed middle-market assets (35 units or less) in emerging communities and renovating them to generate value. We then tailor each property to the surrounding neighborhood by pinpointing and engaging local partners to create a distinctive, proprietary brand.
