History

Since 1949, The Arker Companies has built properties as solid as New York's bedrock.  Over three generations, we've crafted a wild portfolio, with projects spanning cutting-edge modern architecture to the meticulous preservation of historic landmarks.

Our journey began with Aron Arker, who established The Arker Companies by building affordable homes in Brooklyn and Staten Island for first-time buyers. As the company grew, Aron was joined by his sons, Sol and Allan, who broadened our mission to create and sustain quality housing throughout all five boroughs.

Sol Arker was later joined by Alex and Daniel Moritz, who carried forward our company's commitment to providing safe, clean, and affordable housing across the NYC Metropolitan area. Although Sol passed away in 2021, his legacy lives on in The Arker Companies' steadfast dedication to improving the lives of New Yorkers, ensuring that families have homes where they can thrive with dignity and pride—a mission that continues to inspire us every day.
