Cornerstone’s philosophy is to create value by developing high quality rental housing properties for low and moderate income and workforce households. In order to achieve this goal, Cornerstone curates quality, well located sites imperative to provide an attractive product that meets the needs of today’s residents. This requires expert knowledge of local zoning intricacies, local rental housing needs, building codes and market forces, as well as federal housing laws and regulations. Another key to our success in the marketplace is the maintenance of productive relationships with local, state and federal governmental authorities.
