Aaron Amitin

Manhattan, NY The Domain Company launched ‘Good Company’, an affiliate that will offer a slate of vertically-integrated pre-development planning, leasing, marketing, and management services in-house. Specializing in developments within New York’s high-growth neighborhoods, Good Company’s mission is to elevate every project through innovative strategies, bold creativity, and focus on results. With industry experience, integration of all services under one roof, and a focus on design and innovation, Good Company manages all aspects of a project from pre-development strategy to property management using custom built tools and technologies.

“What sets Good Company apart is the depth of our team’s knowledge and our capacity to provide owners with all the services they need in one seamless operation,” said Aaron Amitin, COO of Good Company. “Because of our background, we have a unique approach defined by innovative tools and technology customized to the property owners and operators we serve. We are excited to launch Good Company and offer our one-of-a-kind services across the five boroughs.”

Founded by industry experts with proven results, Good Company stands apart with its ownership-focused approach and suite of offerings, all operating in tandem to maximize efficiency and reduce costs. This streamlined approach is essential in an industry where services are splintered across multiple providers, leading to inefficiency, delays and higher costs. To complement its synchronized property management, marketing, leasing, technology, design and construction services, Good Company understands the broader picture as it relates to value creation and meeting strategic objectives, tailoring its approach to meet each asset’s specific business plan.

Good Company has a proven track record in New York City. It executed the successful lease up of Estela, Domain’s most recent development located in Mott Haven NY, comprising 544 units, of which 70% (380 Units) are market rate. Estela began leasing in May 2023 in the Mott Haven submarket. With Good Company’s tailored approach, the property has outperformed its competitive set and has established itself as the premier building in the submarket. Good Company is currently driving the lease up at Domain’s 420 Carroll in Gowanus and Jasper in Long island City.
