Transforming Communities & Building Legacies
What We Do?
At Dwellison Investments, we specialize in the acquisition and management of both multifamily apartment communities and strip plaza retail properties throughout Western New York. Headquartered in Rochester, NY, we focus on enhancing property value through meticulous, value-add strategies and operational excellence. By employing strategic management practices, we aim to revitalize and elevate both the residential and commercial aspects of the properties we invest in, cultivating sustainable growth and fostering vibrant, thriving communities.
Our firm partners with discerning investors seeking passive income through real estate while acquiring properties from owners ready to sell, facilitating smooth, efficient transactions. With an emphasis on long-term success, our mission is to create value-driven opportunities that positively impact the communities we serve, enriching both the economic landscape and the lives of residents and business owners alike.


Why We Do It?
Steady Cash Flow
Both multifamily and retail properties generate reliable income streams through multiple tenants, ensuring consistent cash flow.
Economies of Scale
Managing several units within a single property, whether residential or commercial, offers greater cost-efficiency compared to managing multiple standalone properties.
Market Demand
Demand for both rental housing and retail spaces remains robust, supporting stable occupancy and minimizing vacancies across both sectors.
Long-Term Value
Both multifamily and retail properties appreciate over time, contributing to long-term wealth accumulation and enhanced investment returns.
