TF Cornerstone Inc.’s principals are two brothers, Tom and Fred Elghanayan. The Company is focused on acquisition, development, construction and management of fine residential, commercial and retail properties. TFC’s property portfolio includes a solid, fully-operational collection of Class A, luxury residential buildings, modern office spaces and highly visible retail locations totaling over 8 million square feet throughout New York City and Washington, D.C.

Our residential projects raise the standard of living by creating a sense of community and establishing thriving neighborhoods. Our commercial strategy centers on value enhancement through active management and repositioning of office, retail and industrial properties. Additionally, the firm’s vertical integration provides a depth and breadth of knowledge and experience to draw upon in creating new developments and managing growth over the long-term without compromising our passion and commitment to delivering the highest quality real estate product and services for our tenants. Our longstanding commitment to developing our talented team and maintaining our core values and reputation for quality, innovation, reliability, and integrity will ensure the long-term growth and success of our vision.

Over the past four decades, Tom and Fred Elghanayan have worked together, steadily building a reputation for quality, integrity and vision. The partnership that began in 1970 with the renovation of a small brownstone has since grown into a preeminent NYC real estate development firm.
