Conifer Realty

As we celebrate Conifer Realty’s 50th anniversary, we’re reflecting on the transformative journey of providing quality affordable housing over the decades. This milestone offers us a chance to honor the foundation laid in our early years while looking ahead to the continued importance of creating thriving, inclusive communities. This month, we are proud to showcase Riverfront Village at Pennsauken, a newly developed apartment and townhome community situated along the scenic Delaware River in Pennsauken, NJ. The demand for affordable housing continues to rise across the nation. In New Jersey alone, there are over 300,000 extremely low-income renter households, but only 90,000 affordable rental homes available to meet this critical need according to the National Low Income Housing Coalition. Conifer is honored to support the Pennsauken community by providing much-needed housing options, ensuring access to quality, affordable living opportunities for those who need it most. #AffordableHousing #NJHousing #CommunityFocused

At Conifer, our residents are at the heart of everything we do. They are not just the individuals and families who live in the communities we create; they are the very reason we exist. Each decision we make, every project we undertake, and every milestone we celebrate is inspired by our residents. We believe that everyone deserves a welcoming, and affordable place to call home, and it is our privilege to provide homes where people can build their lives, form connections, and thrive. At the start of 2025, we are proud to be providing nearly 13,000 apartments for residents throughout our portfolio. New York has the second highest number of extremely low-income renter households according to the National Low Income Housing Coalition. Conifer is proud to support residents in New York, New Jersey, Maryland, Pennsylvania, and beyond. Our residents remind us every day of the profound impact housing has on quality of life. From young families seeking a place to grow, to seniors finding comfort and community in their golden years, we are humbled to play a role in their journeys. Their resilience and sense of hope drive us to innovate, to push boundaries, and uphold the highest standards in everything we do. They are not just residents—they are part of the Conifer family. We are committed to continuing to provide high-quality affordable housing. #AffordableHousing #COUNTONUS #residentfocused

This month, we are proud to spotlight Beverly Cosgrove, a dedicated Community Support Specialist at Conifer. With over a decade of experience, Beverly is an integral part of our team, admired for her steadfast dedication and readiness to lend a hand wherever it's needed. Over the years, she has contributed her expertise to various departments, including property management, leasing, and accounting. Beverly’s passion for leasing new communities, improving existing ones, and mentoring new employees exemplifies her commitment to Conifer’s mission. Vice President of Transition Management Kelly McKenna shared, “Beverly has grown into a remarkable leader and mentor. Chances are, if you’ve worked with her once, you have her number saved and often consult her for advice or insight. In the past month alone, multiple colleagues have reached out to tell me how incredible she is and what a joy it is to work with her. Bev, you are a superstar—thank you for everything!” Thank you, Beverly, for your hard work, determination, and the lasting impact you’ve made on your peers and residents.

Recently, Lisa Kaseman, Executive Vice President of Development + Acquisitions, utilized one of Conifer’s exceptional employee benefits—Volunteer Service Time Off (VSTO). Lisa and her two daughters dedicated their time to supporting the YWCA of Rochester, a Conifer community that provides critical housing services. These include long-term housing rooms for women, emergency housing for women and families, long-term apartments for individuals experiencing homelessness, and supportive living apartments for women in recovery. Conifer proudly offers employees 15 hours of Volunteer Service Time Off annually, encouraging them to give back to the communities we serve. This initiative reflects our commitment not only to providing meaningful benefits for our employees but also to creating positive, lasting impacts in the neighborhoods where we live and work. Lisa’s efforts exemplify Conifer’s core values, blending personal dedication with our shared mission of creating communities that change lives. #CommunityFocused #VolunteerHours #AffordableHousing

The legacy of Martin Luther King Jr. reminds us of the power of service and community. His words, "Everybody can be great because everybody can serve," emphasize that greatness lies in our ability to contribute to the well-being of others. King’s dedication to uplifting his community inspires us to take action and support those in need.
