Alexander Company projects create new urban focal points and restore glory
to important landmarks that define cities. The company has completed several
mixed-use “urban renaissance” master-planned developments, incorporating
new construction, historic preservation or both. The Company has won numerous
industry awards, including the National Preservation Honor Award from the
National Trust for Historic Preservation, the 2011 Best Historic Rehabilitation
Project Award from Affordable Housing Finance, the 2010 Charles Edson Award
from the Affordable Housing Tax Credit Coalition, The Paul Gruenberg Award for
Best Adaptive Reuse of a Building and several National Main Street Awards.
The Alexander Company is separated from other firms by managing all services inhouse, providing a one-stop-shop for all real estate needs. This approach results in a
single source of accountability for the client and brings efficiency, transparency and
ease of communication to the otherwise arduous process of real estate development.
