Locations

We focus on the cities in between the big cities. The urban communities that sit at the edge of outdoor recreation.

 

Where we are

We invest in communities that will be new culture and innovation hubs, driven by the ability to work from anywhere. Neighborhoods caught off guard by changes in the U.S. economy, well positioned for the post-industrial future.

 
 

  • Poughkeepsie, NY

    A major employment hub within the Hudson Valley with thriving healthcare, education and technology sectors. Main Street intersects with the Hudson River and many locals take advantage of outdoor water activities, as well as the near endless hiking and biking trails surrounding the city. Poughkeepsie is home to the longest pedestrian walkway in the world, “the Queen City,” and four colleges.

  • Esopus, NY

    10-miles from downtown Poughkeepsie and Kingston, on the Hudson River and surrounded by preserved land, this city offers some of the best hiking and fishing in the Hudson Valley. Esopus has a rich history and an off-the-beaten-path feel.

  • Kingston, NY

    In the historic Stockade District and Strand neighborhoods, Kingston has all of the best elements of city living (including culinary, art, music and retail experiences, and over 150+ breweries, wineries, and cideries within a 1-hour drive). The city is located between a marina, and minutes from the Shokan Reservoir, Shawangunk Mountains, and Hunter Mountain. It's the first capital of New York state, and a former industrial powerhouse.
