United Group of Companies

Since its founding in 1972, United Group has become a nationally recognized, award winning company with a consistent record of excellence in all phases of real estate: development, financing, acquisitions, repositioning, and professional management. That track record includes an exceptionally broad range of specialties—senior living, student communities, commercial properties, multi-family residential, mixed-use developments, and more. Enhancing this expertise and versatility are our capital strength and our primary commitment to everyone whose lives we touch.

For 50 years, United Group has stood at the forefront of leading development projects not only in upstate New York, but also in Georgia, Florida, California, Massachusetts, and elsewhere in the U.S. In every case, we seek opportunities to introduce new ideas and customize solutions that command the full potential of the project’s value.

Mission

Our mission is to add value to the lives of everyone we serve—clients and investors, partners and associates, residents, their guests, and others—by excelling in the development, financing, and management of real estate.

Values

Good Deeds

Since our founding, we have believed that our work is first and foremost about community. So we complement our real estate development and management with volunteer efforts to foster community:

Many of our employees donate their time and sweat equity to building affordable homes as part of Habitat for Humanity.
Each February, United employees “Go Red for Women,” a campaign initiative of the American Heart Association.
Each October, we support “Breast Cancer Awareness Month” a campaign initiative of the American Cancer Society.
During the holidays, we participate in food and clothing drives, as well as the “Stuff a Stocking” event (care packages for troops overseas) and programs that provide toys, clothing, and support for less privileged children like the Salvation Army’s Adopt-a-Family and Angel Tree programs.
We also surprise our residents with such treats as cookie bags for our seniors during the holidays.
