BRP Companies

BRP Companies is a New York real estate developer founded in 1998 and based at 100 Park Avenue in Midtown Manhattan. It develops market-rate, workforce and affordable housing and mixed-use buildings through new construction, rehabilitation and occasional historic preservation, and it handles construction, property management and financial services in-house. The firm says it has more than 70 employees and a completed portfolio of over 5.8 million square feet, with most of its projects near transit hubs. It has worked beyond New York in Philadelphia and Baltimore. BRP was one of the co-developers, with Fairstead and Urbane, on the $636 million Reid & Park Rock rehabilitation of 1,696 NYCHA apartments in East Brooklyn, which wrapped up in October 2026.

Since 2014, BRP Companies has donated land and classroom space in East New York to Urban Harvest at Ujima, a tuition-free urban farm program run by Slow Food NYC that hosts roughly 120 student farmers each summer. It is a small line item next to a $6.8 billion transaction history, and a fair indication of how the firm describes its purpose.

Geoff Flournoy and Meredith Marshall founded the company in 1998 and still run it as co-founders and managing partners. The structure is vertically integrated by design — acquisition, financing, design, construction and building management all sit in-house, across a staff of more than 70. Capital has been deployed on behalf of institutional and high-net-worth investors since 2003.

Construction runs under its own name. Skycore Builders Inc., successor to BRP Construction Group LLC, employs architects, engineers, project managers, supervisors, expediters and field technicians and is led by Richard Santosky as president of construction. That means pre-construction value engineering, ground-up work and the restoration of historic and landmarked buildings are handled by people on the payroll rather than assembled per job.

The numbers break down roughly as follows: about 4.3 million square feet of development completed, 4.9 million in construction and more than 6.5 million in the pipeline, with 5.8 million square feet completed overall. The retail portfolio runs near 644,000 square feet, leased to grocers, national pharmacy chains, banks and early learning facilities.

Community outcomes are tracked alongside the square footage — more than 2,000 workforce housing units, over 54,000 square feet of community facility space, and 3,200-plus jobs created. The Crossing at Jamaica Station in Queens and Caton Flats in Brooklyn are the signature projects.

Recognition includes Developer of the Year from the New York Housing Conference in 2019, a Civic and Corporate Partnership Award from One Hundred Black Men, and a CSR Responsible 100 honor in 2017. Community partners pictured on the firm’s own pages include the National Urban League, Bedford-Stuyvesant Restoration, NYCEDC, Abyssinian, Jazzmobile, Breaking Ground, UNCF and Urbane Development.

Geographic reach extends well past the five boroughs — New Rochelle and White Plains, Newark and Jersey City, Philadelphia, Baltimore, the Washington area and Atlanta. Senior staff are credited with more than a century of combined experience between them.
