With a wide range of for-profit, non-profit and government agency partners, La Cité Development is involved in both the renovation and ground-up construction of quality, affordable housing throughout the New York Metropolitan area, Baltimore and Rhode Island. La Cité's corporate philosophy embraces investment in neighborhoods and communities that have been largely overlooked or neglected, and promotes development projects that contain affordable housing components in neighborhoods with an identified need for revitalization and the creation of modern housing stock and progressive infrastructure.

On many projects, La Cité Development partners with non-profit community development corporations, which act as liaison with the communityin order to facilitate a harmonious relationship between residents and the developer, while aiming to achieve a minimum displacement of community members. In partnership with such local CDCs, La Cité aims to improve the quality of life of community residents in areas under development by providing a variety of services, including health education, job-readiness training, job placement resources, financial planning, and drug- and alcohol- abuse resources. Such a philosophy of community outreach is a fitting complement to La Cité's investment strategies, which involve investing in neighborhoods that are undervalued but in a current growth stage, where there is both great opportunity for appreciation of property values and potential for improvement in the housing stock and standard of living for the community.

Another area of community development in which La Cité Development involves itself is education. Through partnerships with, and fundraising for, local charter school programs, La Cité Development has been actively working to bring quality education alternatives to underserved neighborhoods. La Cité Development continues to seek out viable opportunities for facilitating the establishment of such programs in communities under development.
