Harlem Lofts Construction was established in 1999 by Harlem Lofts, Inc. principal owner Robb Pair with the specific vision of developing Harlem townhouses into convertible loft style spaces, adding square footage, light, air and outdoor living space to our projects. Eleven properties later this original idea expanded to include excavating Cellars and creating Green Roofs, innovative techniques for extending living spaces outside.

With over 20 years experience in real estate sales and investment, Robb saw an obvious business opportunity in 2003 and established Harlem Lofts Brokerage Inc., the first real estate agency in Harlem to join The National Association of REALTORS, The Manhattan Association of REALTORS, The New York State Association of REALTORS, and The Real Estate Board of New York, organizations that mandate Co-Brokerage agreements and a strict Code of Ethics.

Harlem Lofts, Inc. quickly gained the support of several international investor groups that recognized the opportunity to add Harlem properties to their growing real estate portfolios. Their goal was to have a single company handle the acquisition, renovation, construction and management of their rental portfolios. In 2004, Harlem Lofts added Harlem Lofts Property Management Inc. to provide property management, bookkeeping and maintenance services.

Within the next year, Harlem Lofts, Inc. acquired 50 new units for this division. To this day, we continue to manage the majority of those units, with the exception of buildings the sales division sold for investors. Frequently, owners who purchase units through Harlem Lofts Brokerage Inc recognize the value and convenience of Harlem Lofts Property Management and opt to maintain those services.

The result of this experience in pioneering Harlem property development is that Harlem Lofts, Inc. is uniquely positioned to provide property acquisition and construction services for all sizes of Harlem property investments from the individual home buyer to investor groups of all sizes. We have helped home buyers purchase and renovate townhouses, helped property owners transition from single room occupancy buildings to multiple use luxury condominiums and helped investor groups acquire multiple properties followed by construction and property management services to create productive investment portfolios.
