The Douglaston Companies

Our company’s history begins six decades ago when our founder, Jeffrey Levine, found his calling working in construction during the summer. Mr. Levine cultivated the expertise behind our development, construction, and management companies during his college years, studying architecture at night and transforming neighborhoods site by site during the day.

The Douglaston Companies began with the founding of Levine Builders in 1979 with just two people. Standing by our core values of integrity and ethics for the past four decades, the firm has grown to over 200 employees. By providing general contracting and construction management services, Levine Builders has built, renovated and rehabilitated thousands of residential units and millions of square feet of commercial, hotel, office buildings, retail centers, religious, educational, and healthcare facilities.

Douglaston Development was established several years later as the driving engine of the organization. The two companies worked in unison, leveraging each other’s expertise to develop and build complex projects while also growing and thriving in challenging markets.
In 2002, Clinton Management was founded to manage the expanding portfolio of assets developed by Douglaston Development and constructed by Levine Builders. Clinton Management oversees a broad portfolio of moderate-income housing, luxury apartments, commercial, and retail properties.

The Douglaston Companies work together cohesively to acquire each property, develop and construct it to its full potential, and manage it efficiently, assuring that each investment achieves and maintains maximum value and profitability while adding value to the surrounding community. Douglaston Development’s passion for transforming communities has created a long track record of building some of New York City’s most exciting housing projects.

Throughout every project we develop, build and manage, Douglaston Development is committed to Jeffrey Levine’s original vision: to revitalize and grow neighborhoods one building, one block, or one community at a time.
