DeGeorge Management

DeGeorge Management is a property investment and management company headquartered at 51 East Ridge Road in Rochester, NY. Founded by Ben DeGeorge in 2013, the firm grew out of a single three-unit residential building that DeGeorge purchased during the housing downturn after graduating from SUNY Geneseo. Over the following years, the company expanded steadily — managing around 50 rental units by 2014 and growing 150 percent between late 2018 and the end of 2019. Today, DeGeorge Management oversees more than 600 residential units and roughly 60,000 square feet of commercial space across Rochester and four surrounding counties: Monroe, Livingston, Wayne, and Orleans.

DeGeorge Management's portfolio spans several property types across the greater Rochester region:

• Apartment communities, including Pine Ridge Apartments in Irondequoit, Avalon Suites in Webster, and Sterling Square in Greece
• Townhomes and single-family rental homes throughout Monroe County and surrounding areas
• Commercial office space, notably the 53,000-square-foot Arnold Gregory Building in Albion, NY
• Pet-friendly units available across many of their residential communities

The company operates an online tenant portal that handles lease signing, rent payments, and maintenance requests. Their office is open Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM, and the team of approximately 20 full- and part-time employees manages day-to-day property operations and tenant communications.

DeGeorge Management has built its portfolio through a buy-and-hold investment approach, focusing on long-term property ownership rather than short-term turnover. The company's growth has been largely organic, with notable acquisitions such as the 120-unit LeChase Manor Apartments in Gates — a $6.2 million purchase in late 2019 that was renamed William's Tribute. With approximately 15 apartment communities spread across multiple counties, the firm has established itself as a multi-county residential operator in the Rochester market.

The DeGeorge Management office sits on East Ridge Road in northeast Rochester, close to the Seneca Park Zoo along the Ridge Road corridor. This stretch of East Ridge Road connects several residential neighborhoods on Rochester's north side and provides straightforward access to Irondequoit and other inner-ring suburbs. The office location is convenient for tenants in the company's Monroe County properties, while the firm's broader portfolio extends into communities as far as Newark, Albion, Lakeville, and Livonia.
