Chason Affinity Companies is a privately held real estate investment, development, and asset management firm headquartered in Buffalo, New York. With organizational roots tracing back to 1918, the enterprise leverages over a century of multi-generational operational history to manage full-lifecycle real estate portfolios across New York State, the Mid-Atlantic region, and parts of the Southwestern United States. Operating with a workforce of 11 to 200 specialized professionals, the firm coordinates its regional and national development platforms from its corporate office located at 105 Affinity Lane. The enterprise focuses its business model on vertically integrated real estate services, maintaining specialized internal capabilities in land assembly, development financing, ground-up vertical construction, and long-term property management. Chason Affinity maintains a heavy concentration in the residential and multifamily housing sectors, deploying capital across several core housing types. Its targeted investments focus on affordable housing solutions, off-campus student housing developments, conventional market-rate apartments, high-end condominiums, and single-family communities. Additionally, the firm balances its new construction pipeline by targeting urban infill sites, structural rehabilitations, and complex adaptive reuse projects aimed at local neighborhood revitalization. The company's historical footprint highlights a significant volume of scale, having been involved in the development, acquisition, or repositioning of more than 14,000 apartment units and over 5 million square feet of commercial space. On an ongoing operational basis, Chason Affinity’s property management division actively oversees a stable portfolio of approximately 3,700 diverse residential units. This managed network is anchored by prominent regional multi-family and senior assets—such as Kensington Village and Sutton Place in Buffalo, alongside Bethel Estates in Hamburg—and is further highlighted by high-profile, transit-oriented mixed-use developments, such as the Eleven Eleven Elmwood condominium complex in Buffalo's historic Elmwood Village.
