HOME ABOUT US TEAM FEATURED PROJECTS SERVICES CONTACT About Us COMPANY BACKGROUND At Artimus, we strive to build not merely with efficiency, but with purpose -- to construct more than walls and structures but, rather, to empower people and create communities as well. For over 30 years, Artimus has worked to develop, revitalize, and strengthen New York City’s communities. In that time our mission has been one of neighborhood renewal, through the introduction of quality housing and desirable businesses. Our corporate office is located in Upper Manhattan where we have close ties, while maintaining several field offices throughout the city. Artimus has constructed over five million square feet of mid-rise and high-rise projects that include residential, commercial, hospitality, retail, and mixed-use properties. We also have extensive experience in gut-rehabilitations, vacant-lot developments, historic buildings, and contextually integrative design. As one of New York’s most successful and driven real estate companies, Artimus consistently develops high-quality properties, delivered on time and within budget. Our growth stems from positive, personal interaction with neighbors and community members. We foster these integral relationships by upholding our commitment to the communities in which we develop. By ensuring each project respects our neighbors’ quality of life before, during, and after construction, we have found these relationships to be a crucial part of our streamlined success. We have strong relationships with not-for-profit community groups, governmental institutions, M/WBE, and local subcontractors. In our focus areas we invest considerable energy improving civic and economic health, putting an emphasis on vital new business growth such as supermarkets, restaurants, banks, coffee shops, and dynamic retail. As a pioneer in opening Harlem north of 110th Street to commercial and residential opportunities, Artimus has succeeded in stimulating the local economy. COMMUNITY RELATIONS Artimus partners with and supports a variety of charitable organizations, organizations, religious institutions, not-for-profits and neighborhood associations intent on bolstering the communities in which we work. We believe that communities are not simply built with bricks and mortar, and our work does not stop at the front door of the buildings we build. Our support of community institutions both large and small helps create and sustain livable neighborhoods.
