What ETC does

ETC Companies, LLC is a privately held U.S. construction services firm specializing in new construction and rehabilitation of multifamily affordable housing complexes. According to its own disclosures, the company has completed over 100 projects encompassing more than 30,000 units with $1 billion in cumulative construction value. It delivers two core services: greenfield development of affordable housing complexes and tenant-in-place rehabilitation of existing properties, and serves three primary customer segments—affordable housing developers, public housing authorities (including NYCHA-related work), and property management companies.

The firm is headquartered in Ramsey, New Jersey, with additional offices in Boca Raton, Florida, and Brooklyn, New York. Ownership is concentrated in three co-founders—Bradley Coleman, Robert Butwin, and Michael Levine—supported by a CFO (Michael Moroz), VP of Construction (Diogo Cadima), Director of Construction (Thomas Kelly), and HR Director (Amanda Daddis). ETC's stated differentiators are a fully staffed compliance function covering prevailing wage, MBE/WBE/SDVOB, and Section 3 contractor requirements, deep experience with tenant-in-place renovations, and disciplined project execution across multiple states.

Revenue is generated through project-based fixed-price and cost-plus construction contracts with developers, housing authorities, and property managers. Named customers include Lincoln Avenue Capital, Related Companies, SAA|EVI, Hudson Valley Property Group, Orbach Affordable Housing Solutions, Roizman Development, Monadnock Construction, and Community Realty Management. Projects are sourced through direct business development, client relationships, and industry reputation rather than through distribution intermediaries. ETC does not operate a proprietary technology platform; its core capability is construction expertise, project management discipline, and regulatory compliance.
