The We're Group

What The We're Group does

The We're Group is a privately held, family-owned commercial real estate company that designs, builds, owns, manages, and operates integrated business communities across Long Island, New York. Now in its third generation of family ownership with more than 50 years of continuous operation (founded circa 1970; firmographics also list 1960), the firm has developed more than 10 million square feet of new construction anchored by three concentrated property clusters: the 10-building Lake Success Quadrangle (1.1 million+ sq ft on 50 acres), the Jericho Quadrangle complex on Jericho Turnpike, and a Route 110 corridor portfolio in Huntington/Melville totaling 3.5 million+ sf built.

The company's core offerings include commercial office space leasing priced between $24 and $42 per square foot annually, specialized medical facility leasing (more than 350,000 sq ft developed including medical offices, radiology centers, ambulatory surgery centers, and robotics laboratories), and build-to-suit design and construction services delivered through in-house architecture, engineering, and construction departments. Notable physical-infrastructure features include a proprietary central well-water source heat pump HVAC system serving Jericho Quadrangle buildings, advanced fiber optic and satellite telecommunications across the portfolio, and on-site HVAC, electrical, plumbing, and groundskeeping staff that supports an in-house property management capability. The firm reports a tenant retention rate exceeding 90%.

The We're Group executes a sales-led, direct enterprise motion through phone ((516) 931-5300), email ([email protected]), and its company website (were.com), targeting corporate enterprises, healthcare systems, government agencies, and SMB tenants across Nassau and Suffolk counties. Its current enterprise tenant base includes Geico, the New York State Insurance Fund, Northwell Health, NYU Langone, Newsday, Dime Community Bank, Optum Health, Catholic Health Services of Long Island, Prime Healthcare, New York Cancer & Blood Specialists, and Darby Dental Supplies, with historically significant build-to-suit projects delivered for Northrop Grumman, Chase Manhattan Bank, Citigroup, NEC, and Robert Bosch. Revenue is generated primarily through recurring rental income on owned properties, supplemented by custom build-to-suit project revenue and ongoing property management fees.

Direct peers

• RXR Realty: RXR is a major New York metro commercial real estate owner, operator, and developer with significant suburban and Long Island office holdings. It is the closest direct peer to The We're Group given its similar Tri-state office platform and build-to-suit capabilities.
• Reckson Associates (a division of SL Green): Reckson was a leading Long Island/Westchester suburban office owner-developer before being absorbed into SL Green, with a portfolio, tenant mix, and sub-market focus closely comparable to The We're Group.
• Trammell Crow Company: Trammell Crow is a national commercial real estate developer that builds, owns, and operates office, medical, and industrial properties on a build-to-suit basis for major corporate tenants — directly analogous to The We're Group's build-to-suit business line.

Broad incumbents

• Tishman Speyer: Tishman Speyer is a global owner, developer, and operator of office and mixed-use properties with a major New York presence. While much larger and more diversified, it competes for the same large corporate build-to-suit and trophy office tenants.
• Vornado Realty Trust: Vornado is a New York-focused office REIT with a portfolio concentrated in Manhattan and selective suburban assets. It is a broader incumbent competing for the same Long Island–area corporate tenancy pool.
• Brookfield Properties: Brookfield Properties is one of the largest global office landlords, with significant New York metro exposure. It is a broader incumbent in commercial office ownership and development, competing for premier corporate tenants.

Emerging players

• Healthpeak Properties: Healthpeak is a medical office REIT with a national outpatient medical portfolio, comparable to The We're Group's specialized 350,000+ sf medical facility development and leasing business. It is a more institutional, capital-rich competitor in the same sub-sector.
• Welltower: Welltower is a healthcare-focused REIT investing in seniors housing, outpatient medical, and health system properties. It competes for the same healthcare tenant relationships (e.g., Northwell, NYU Langone) that anchor The We're Group's medical portfolio.

Others

• JLL: JLL is a global commercial real estate services firm offering brokerage, property management, and investment sales. It is comparable to The We're Group's in-house leasing and property management capabilities from a services-competitor perspective.
• CBRE Group: CBRE is the world's largest commercial real estate services and investment firm, providing brokerage, valuation, and property management. It represents the institutional services and capital-markets counterpart to The We're Group's vertically integrated platform.
