Sinatra & Co.

Sinatra & Co. is a visionary real estate firm founded in Buffalo, New York by Nick Sinatra. It is a privately held, vertically integrated real estate investment, development, and management company, focused on value-add acquisitions and development.

At inception, the firm’s focus was to source and invest in residential and multifamily properties that had not yet, or were no longer meeting, their full potential in the market.

Today, Sinatra & Co. owns and manages more than $700 million in real estate assets, including over 5,000 multifamily units across the Western New York, Midwest and West-Central Florida regions. Its seasoned team works to forge continued growth in assets, reach, and services across development, rehabilitation, brokerage, advisory, and property management sectors.

While Sinatra & Co.’s focus remains on well-timed, well-placed multifamily acquisitions in core-plus markets and the exceptional development and management thereof, it continues to invest in urban infill, adaptive reuse, and rehabilitative development strategies as a complementary and most often, synergistic supplement to its core competencies.

The financial returns resulting from strategic acquisitions, along with the company’s commitment to projects that attract ripple effect growth, has strengthened relationships with capital partners who hold the same vision.

Philosophically, Sinatra & Co. remains driven by smart growth decisions, skilled capital management, and impactful projects that are location-driven. Sinatra & Co. seeks to be not only a leader in its field, but also a leader in the communities it serves by placing people before profits, and continuing to invest not only in property, but also in the surrounding neighborhoods and beyond.
