Founded by President & CEO David Riedman in 1993, Riedman is known for developing new apartment communities and revitalizing aging properties through well-planned, fiscally sound projects that enrich the communities they are located in.

“As a college student studying Landscape Architecture, David quickly realized that truly impactful design required more than creativity; it required influence over execution. Motivated by a deep interest in creating better places for people to live, he saw an opportunity to shape communities in a more meaningful and lasting way.”

With 150 employees, Riedman stays ahead of housing trends by embedding innovation into daily operations. They view routine processes as the foundation for creativity and progress. With strong systems, a forward-thinking culture, and a team empowered to take responsible risks, they drive continuous improvement and agility. This mindset fuels smart growth and enables the delivery of efficient, high-quality communities through evolving tools, technologies, and thoughtful decision-making.

Riedman has “a talented, experienced team that excels at revitalizing communities” and expects their “commitment to thoughtful, impactful development will continue to fuel the success” of the company.

Riedman also gives back to the community through volunteer work and philanthropy, supporting a diverse range of organizations and initiatives including Rochester Regional Health, the Seneca Park Zoo, Powder Mills Park Fish Hatchery and the YMCA of Greater Rochester.
