Community
Investing in Rochester, not just in Rochester real estate
We’re community-first without being charitable about it. Strong neighborhoods make for strong assets — so we back the businesses, housing, and partnerships that make Rochester better.
Rochester Farmers Market
We invest locally — beyond real estate
We proudly support the Rochester Farmers Market by shopping weekly, supporting local growers, and helping strengthen the local agricultural economy.
Investing locally extends beyond real estate. We believe thriving communities are built by supporting local businesses, farmers, and entrepreneurs — and we show up for them with our time and our dollars, not just our capital.

Small business
Supporting small businesses
More than 120 members operate across The Hub Network — from consultants and clinicians to founders taking their first step out of the home office.
All-inclusive, flexible space lets small businesses operate professionally without the overhead and red tape of a conventional lease — and grow within the portfolio as they scale.

Entrepreneurship
Backing the entrepreneurial ecosystem
Rochester’s innovation economy is accelerating. Slingshot builds the practical, on-the-ground space and support that early-stage businesses need to put down roots.
Curated office space bridges the gap between coworking and a traditional lease — the next step for professionals and teams ready to grow beyond a shared desk.
Neighborhood
Long-term neighborhood investment
On historic Center Street, Slingshot is assembling and improving adjacent properties — removing blight and strengthening a walkable neighborhood for the long term.
We invest in a block for years, not a single transaction. Improving existing housing stock keeps established neighborhoods vibrant and welcoming.
Partnerships
Local partnerships
Slingshot works alongside local banks, builders, brokers, and institutions — aligning private investment with the people and organizations who make Rochester work.
