TF Cornerstone

In 2009, brothers Thomas and Frederick Elghanayan founded TF Cornerstone, a New York City-based real estate development and management firm. Headquartered in Manhattan, the privately held company focuses on large-scale residential, commercial and retail projects throughout the city. Its rental portfolio spans dozens of apartment and mixed-use buildings across Manhattan, Queens and Brooklyn – from Midtown and the Upper East Side to Long Island City and Downtown Brooklyn – offering full-service amenities such as doormen, fitness centers, laundry facilities and rooftop decks. TF Cornerstone markets its apartments as modern, amenity-rich homes in well-connected neighborhoods, often leasing them without a broker fee.

Beyond housing, TF Cornerstone also develops and manages office and mixed-use properties. For example, in Long Island City, Queens, the Malt Drive North Tower at 2-21 Malt Drive is a newly opened luxury rental high-rise featuring modern apartments with in-unit laundry. The building’s amenities include a rooftop terrace, fitness center, resident lounge and co-working space. The company emphasizes a design-centric, community-focused approach: leadership highlights their commitment to class-A construction quality, rigorous building management and long-term neighborhood investment. This family-run firm promotes well-managed, amenity-rich communities aimed at enhancing urban living for renters.
