We expect our people (employees, stakeholders, vendors, partners) to maintain high ethical standards, and we trust them to always do the right thing. Our reputation took a lifetime to build, and we protect it with a passion.
Family
At our core, we are a family company guided by family values, and our employees are part of our extended family.

“People are my purpose. The highest form of wisdom has nothing to do with making money but making the world better through simple daily acts of kindness.” Lisa Silverstein
A Source of Inspiration
The Survivor Tree at the World Trade Center embodies the spirit and values of the Silverstein family. It survived the September 11th attacks, and despite being severely burned and damaged, over time the tree grew new, smooth branches. The tree stands as a living reminder of resilience, survival, and rebirth. Its branches represent growth, wisdom, and respect.
About Us
We own and operate first-class buildings with a stable roster of commercial, residential and retail tenants. We believe that if we take care of our tenants and our buildings, they will take care of us. Our operations, engineering, maintenance and cleaning staff pride themselves on keeping our buildings safe, impeccably clean, well maintained and in perfect order.
We are an active and diversified real estate investment and development firm. Over the past 10 years, we have added asset manager, fund manager, lender, and fee developer to our more traditional roles as equity developer, owner and operator. These lines of business generate strong returns and reliable income streams, which further enable us to execute on our long-term growth strategy.
Our projects are key to attracting and keeping our best people. We work hard to ensure that our existing portfolio remains healthy, and make sure our current projects are brought to a successful conclusion.
