Shaping Communities

Shaping Communities

Highgates creates more than buildings, we create communities built to last. For over 30 years, weve combined vision, discipline, and care to deliver multifamily developments that stand the test of time while protecting and growing the wealth of our investors.

Founded in the late 1990s by Joseph Waldman, Highgates was built on the belief that the greatest value you can add to a property is in creating it from the ground up. Today, that belief continues to guide our work across North America, the United Kingdom, and Israel.

Our investors understand that the best asset is a new property in a strong location. We focus on developing multi-family rental communities while providing portfolio diversification across geographies and currencies. Every investment undergoes a rigid due diligence and vetting process, and Highgates stands behind each opportunity by investing in each project.

A pioneer of multifamily real estate, Highgates is one of the largest developers in the market we serve. Over 30 years, we have built premier residences, creating vibrant and amenity-rich communities that our residents are proud to call home. Our local offices provide an on-the-ground presence, deep network, and an understanding of local market dynamics. Our longstanding reputation is built on quality, entrepreneurship, and operational excellence.
