# The 30 largest property developers in New York

Tamtam tracks 86 property developers headquartered in New York. This list ranks the 30 largest by number of employees on LinkedIn, led by Brookfield Properties, Highgate and Related Companies. Their median headcount is 431. Half of them were founded in 1976 or later.

These New York companies are primarily large and mid-sized firms focused on real estate development, investment, and management. Notable examples include Brookfield Properties, a global real estate developer and operator, and Related Companies, a global real estate and lifestyle company. Highgate specializes in real estate investment and hospitality management, while Tishman Speyer focuses on real estate ownership, operation, development, and fund management.

## How this list is built

Every company on this list has a Tamtam company profile. The industry is the one the company gives on LinkedIn; categories such as SaaS or fintech are classified by Tamtam's AI from the company's website and LinkedIn page; and the headquarters city must match the company's own address. Companies are ranked by the number of employees on LinkedIn, and the list is refreshed every night. Classifications can be wrong, so treat the list as a starting point rather than an official ranking. Last updated Nov 12, 2026.
