Two Trees is a Brooklyn-based, family-owned real estate development firm. Founded in 1968, the company's portfolio includes 6,000+ residential units and over 4 million square feet of office and retail space. Led by founder David Walentas and CEO Jed Walentas, Two Trees is well-known for transforming DUMBO from a neglected industrial waterfront into a thriving mixed-use community. The company is committed to creating neighborhoods that have a unique cultural identity, and it supports businesses that add value to the long-term vitality of the communities.
Two Trees believes that people prosper when neighborhoods bloom. It is the duty of the developers and property-owners to cultivate livable streetscapes that lend to a wide variety of uses and attract diverse groups of people. Two Trees fills its storefronts purposefully with small, family-owned businesses, creates artistic and cultural spaces to enrich the streets, and uniquely constructs buildings to promote the growing potential of their surrounding areas.
Two Trees' apartment units are luxury homes built to last for years to come. From sunlight-drenched studios to two-bedroom residences with private terraces, the spaces feature floor-to-ceiling windows with stunning cityscape views, high-end finishes, top-of-the-line, energy-efficient appliances, and a full range of luxurious amenities.
Two Trees developments are much more than properties–they are dynamic places where communities can connect and thrive. In-house curators and civics teams coordinate philanthropic efforts with the company's mission, and respond to neighborhood demands that are unmet by traditional real estate development companies. Decisions are made after honest discussions, always with the neighborhoods' best long-term interest in mind.
Two Trees owns over 4 million square feet of commercial, industrial and residential real estate throughout the U.S. with the majority of its properties located in NYC. From DUMBO to the Domino Sugar Factory, the company has proven to invest in community amenities that add to the long-term vitality and sustainability of the neighborhoods.
