About
Clipper Realty Inc. is a real estate company that owns and operates multifamily residential and commercial properties in the New York metropolitan area. The REIT's portfolio includes residential apartment buildings in Manhattan and Brooklyn, along with commercial properties generating rental income. Clipper focuses on acquiring, owning, and managing properties in desirable New York City locations with opportunities for value creation through repositioning, renovations, and active management. The company generates revenues primarily from residential and commercial rental income. Founded in 2014 and headquartered in Brooklyn, New York, Clipper was formed by the Birnbaum family, experienced New York real estate investors and operators. The REIT operates with a concentrated portfolio of properties in high-barrier-to-entry New York City markets. Clipper faces challenges from New York City rent regulations limiting rental growth in rent-stabilized units, property taxes, operating expenses, and competitive rental markets. The company benefits from irreplaceable Manhattan and Brooklyn locations and long-term New York City housing demand. Clipper continues to focus on property improvements, leasing, operational efficiency, and strategic property management to enhance value.
