Landmark Quest Inc. · New York · Est. 2014

New York, held for the long term.

We own and look after residential buildings in New York City, and we keep our capital as steady as the brickwork. No flipping. No hurry.

Our company

BLK 01 — Position

A building is not a trade. It is a promise to its walls, its wiring, and the people who come home to it. We hold that promise slowly, and we keep it in repair.

BLK 02 — What we hold

Three things, held patiently.

We are a holding company in the plainest sense: we buy things we intend to keep, and we look after them.

See our holdings

01
Residential buildings
Homes in New York City that were built to last and are worth keeping that way. We favor solid structure, honest materials and streets people want to live on.
02
Patient capital
A conservatively managed reserve sits beside the real estate, so repairs, taxes and surprises never force a sale.
03
A long view
Our horizon is measured in decades. It changes how we repair, what we buy and what we say no to.

BLK 03 — How we work

The same four verbs, for decades.

Nothing here is clever. It is housekeeping, done every year, by people who expect to be around next year.

01
Hold

We buy to keep. A sale is the exception we plan for, never the plan itself.
02
Maintain

Roofs, façades, boilers and risers get attention before they ask for it.
03
Reserve

Cash set aside in advance turns emergencies into line items.
04
Reinvest

What the buildings earn goes back into the buildings first.
