What Artimus does

Artimus is a privately held, New York City-based real estate development and construction management firm with over 30 years of operating history, headquartered at 316 West 118th Street in Upper Manhattan. The company develops, builds, and manages residential, commercial, hospitality, retail, and mixed-use properties, with a pronounced focus on mixed-income and affordable housing in gentrifying and revitalization corridors across Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, and the Bronx. Its portfolio includes more than 21 named projects ranging from 49-unit luxury condominiums (Circa Central Park) and 160-unit class-A rentals (88 East 127th Street) to 543-unit mixed-income towers (Alvista Rise) and a 313-room branded hotel (INNSide by Melia). Across its history the firm has constructed more than five million square feet of mid- and high-rise product and Ken Haron alone has managed/developed in excess of $500 million of residential and commercial real estate.

Artimus operates a vertically integrated service model covering project management, construction management and development, site management, quality control, purchasing, and administration, staffed by 100+ in-house professionals. Pre-construction work uses three-dimensional coordination and imaging software alongside standard scheduling and project management tools. The firm self-describes a "two-pronged" approach combining neighborhood-level community engagement with city-agency navigation, anchored by deep relationships with not-for-profit groups, M/WBE and local subcontractors, and NYC Department of Housing Preservation and Development counterparts. Ken Haron serves as President, Eytan Benyamin as Chairman, Barry Gurvitch as CEO, with multiple Haron family members in partner/CXO roles and a CFO (Phil Mayer, hired 2022) brought in from outside the real estate sector to professionalize finance.

Revenue mechanics are project-based and not publicly disclosed. The firm operates on a fee-for-service and development-spread model typical of integrated NYC developers: development fees, construction management fees, in-house general contracting on owned projects, and residual equity from rental/condo sell-out. Pricing is quote-based and project-specific, with no standardized tiers. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales, engaging institutions, private developers, and city agencies directly; commercial demand is supported indirectly via national-brand tenant leasing at flagship mixed-use assets such as Soha 118 (Starbucks, Chase, Lidl). The firm is privately held by founding partners and family members, with no disclosed institutional investors, parent company, or external funding rounds.
