Hekemian & Co

What Hekemian & Co does

Hekemian & Co is a privately held, family-owned real estate company founded in 1933 and headquartered in Hackensack, New Jersey. It operates across two regional markets — northern New Jersey (Northeast) and the Washington, D.C. metro area spanning northern Virginia and Maryland (Mid-Atlantic) — through a second office in Annapolis, Maryland dedicated to Mid-Atlantic development. The company's service portfolio spans four integrated lines: Acquisition & Development, Property Management, Commercial Brokerage, and Insurance Products, with the insurance line in continuous operation since the 1950s.

The company executes a vertically integrated real estate operating model. It acquires and develops mixed-use and multifamily projects — including Upland Park in Alexandria, VA (401 multifamily units, 92 townhomes, a 171-key hotel, and 8,470 SF of retail), Landmark Overlook in Landmark, VA (8.2-acre mixed-use with 150,000–200,000 SF of planned office and hotel space), and 444 Maple in Vienna, VA (120,091 SF mixed-use with luxury apartments and ground-floor retail) — while managing an existing portfolio of residential and commercial assets and capturing brokerage commissions and insurance premiums internally. Customer segments include residential tenants, commercial and office tenants, hotel operators, and retail tenants. The disclosed technology stack is limited to third-party tools (Google Analytics, MRI Resident Connect); no proprietary platform, AI/ML system, or data assets are referenced in the input.
