We are owners before we are operators.
We are owners before we are operators. Every home in our care is held to the standard we keep for our own — which is why the same team that underwrites a building also renovates it, runs it, and answers the phone when a guest arrives at midnight.
The team.

Three brands, one standard.
Eastgate is the parent. Each brand below is a layer of the same business — and the reason an owner only ever needs one relationship.
The parent company — brokerage, joint ventures, and syndication.
Boutique stays in Nahlaot and the City Centre, and the guest-facing side of management.
