Robert Martin Company

What Robert Martin Company does

Robert Martin Company, LLC is a privately held, fully-integrated real estate investment and development firm founded in 1957 by Robert F. Weinberg and Martin S. Berger. Headquartered in Elmsford, NY, the company has built, acquired, and managed more than 20 million square feet of office, warehouse, retail, and residential properties over its history. Its current holdings span over 200 properties and approximately 6 million square feet of multifamily, office, retail, and industrial space concentrated in the New York tri-state region (Westchester County, CT, NJ) with additional holdings in Florida. The company is described as a pioneer in executive office and industrial park development in Westchester County, with flagship assets including Cross Westchester Executive Park (Elmsford), South Westchester Executive Park (Yonkers), Mid Westchester Executive Park (Hawthorne), and Premier Plaza (Tarrytown).

The company operates across the full real estate value chain with in-house capabilities covering acquisitions, development, leasing, space planning, construction, and property management. Revenue streams include recurring rental income from commercial and residential leases, one-time gains from property development and strategic acquisitions, and professional services fees for construction and tenant improvements. Commercial tenants represent the primary customer segment (office, industrial/flex, and retail space), with residential tenants in multifamily properties such as Elm (Elmsford, NY), The Glenbrook at Rocky Hill (CT), and 129 Worthington Ridge (CT) as a secondary segment. Dedicated commercial and residential tenant portals are operated as self-service platforms. The go-to-market motion is enterprise field sales — direct leasing via an in-house team — with no external distribution intermediaries. The company has also launched RMC Bio1, a wholly-owned life sciences and health technologies development initiative led by Managing Director Laurence P. Gottlieb.

The business does not employ proprietary technology in the software sense; operations are described as traditional real estate development and property management. The company is closely held with no venture capital or private equity backing. Since CEO Timothy M. Jones returned to the firm in 2004, transaction retail value has exceeded $2 billion, anchored by the 2019 acquisition of a 3.1 million-square-foot office/flex portfolio for $487.5 million — the largest commercial real estate transaction in Westchester County history. Principals of the company have also invested in an energy marketing company and a Dunkin' franchising company operating over 90 locations in North and South Carolina, though these are personal/affiliate investments rather than core operations.
