ABOUT US
Heritage Equity Partners is a real estate development firm focused on pioneering vibrancy in dense up and coming areas. Heritage was founded during the downturn in 2008 with a focus on emerging neighborhoods. Since then, Heritage has played a significant role in driving the development and evolution of Williamsburg, Clinton Hill, and Bushwick, both in terms of residential and commercial real estate. Its residential projects were among the first brought online during and after the downturn in 2008, and helped sustain growth in their neighborhood. Furthermore, Heritage’s buildings achieved record occupancies and offered uniquely contextualized design in both new construction projects and renovations.
Today, Heritage Equity Partners is a leading development firm whose specialization in emerging areas has transformed neighborhoods into flourishing centers of culture. As for tomorrow, Heritage continues to leverage that experience and skill to identify future emerging neighborhoods.
