Building the Future, One Community at a Time
For over 30 years, The Markstone Group has been at the forefront of suburban real estate development, transforming landscapes and redefining the way people experience community living. Developing communities that not only enhance the physical environment but also elevate the quality of life for those who call them home.
Where others see challenges, we see opportunity.
As a real estate development firm, we manage every aspect of the process, from land acquisition to municipal approvals, construction, and long-term management. Our expertise lies in identifying untapped potential—whether in raw land, distressed properties, or overlooked opportunities—and turning them into thriving, sustainable communities. With a strong commitment to excellence, innovation, and long-term stewardship, we build more than just properties; we build legacies.
Our Mission and Vision
Our mission is to develop land for the building of exceptional living communities for people of all stages in life, to see those properties to successful completion, and to manage them for the benefit of their tenants and the broader community—upholding integrity in every aspect while fostering economic growth and long-term success.
Pillars of Excellence
We design and build with more than just concrete, glass, and steel—we create spaces with a human element at heart.
Through the pursuit of strategic acquisitions with out-of-the-box thinking to continually grow our portfolio, we pride ourselves on our three Pillars of Excellence: Quality, Ingenuity, and Collaboration.

Our History
Since the turn of this century, The Markstone Group has been literally making its mark in all areas of the real estate development landscape. Back in 2000, Isaac Markowitz and Abe Strulovitch, both second-generation industry players, set out to deepen their understanding of the pivotal relationship between real estate and municipalities. They each independently became aware of the pressing need for suburban development, particularly in the area of senior living, and recognized a growing demand for high-quality suburban housing. They saw an opportunity not only to address the shortage of luxury suburban developments but also to refine the standard of 55+ communities, meeting the evolving expectations of a new generation of retirees.
Determined to fill this critical need, Isaac and Abe joined forces in 2016 to establish The Markstone Group. Their vision: to create thoughtfully designed, high-end suburban communities that elevate the active adult living experience. This new, family-owned company would focus on land acquisition and fund construction-ready development in prime suburban locations.
Today, Markstone is widely known for its high-powered, qualified team that works cohesively with municipalities and cultivates strong relationships with landowners throughout an informed and smooth process. In addition to land development, Markstone provides construction, leasing, marketing, and hands-on property management services. The company continues to seek new opportunities for growth, enhancing the communities it serves by delivering exceptional residential and mixed-use developments.
