What Cirgenski+Company does

Cirgenski+Company is a New York City-based professional services firm founded in 2019 by Chris Cirgenski that provides real estate development consulting, owner's representation, and project management services to corporate, private, and not-for-profit clients. Its core offerings span Development Management, Project Management, Real Estate Advisory, and Owner's Representative services, covering the full project lifecycle from property assessment, due diligence, and project goal definition through design team guidance, bid analysis, construction oversight, approvals, and close-out. The firm operates without any proprietary technology platform; value delivery is grounded in human expertise, with the founder serving as a registered architect holding a Master of Architecture from Harvard's Graduate School of Design and over 40 years of national and international experience across architecture, construction, and real estate development.

The firm's revenue model is professional services fee-based, with pricing not publicly disclosed and engagements structured around project scope; services are delivered through direct client engagement rather than digital channels. Customer segments include not-for-profit cultural and social service institutions, corporate organizations, and private property owners, with a documented roster of over 30 named clients including the American Federation of Arts, Children's Museum of the Arts, Healthcare Chaplaincy, Colony Club, Towerbrook Capital Partners, National Dance Institute, and others. The firm maintains a strategic affiliation with Capalino+Company, dating to the predecessor entity Cirgenski+Capalino (2008), which pairs the firm's development management capabilities with Capalino+'s government and community relations advisory.

Operating from a single headquarters at 233 Broadway in the Woolworth Building, the firm is privately held and founder-owned with no external institutional investment, no disclosed funding rounds, and no evidence of mergers, acquisitions, or geographic expansion beyond the New York City market. The company is structured as a boutique practice of 11–50 employees reliant on its principal's reputation, long-tenured client relationships, and multi-phase engagement track record as its primary competitive assets.
