Blesso Properties is an innovative and socially conscious real estate development and investment firm. We are entrepreneurs that challenge entrenched notions of development, business and life by creating and building inspired environments.

Blesso Properties is also a co-owner of 3^rd Ward and Artists Wanted. Our investment in these and other operating businesses compliment our real estate work and focus on fostering unique and creative commerce and environments.

History

Blesso Properties was founded in 1997 by Matthew Blesso. Having garnered both design and humanitarian awards, Blesso Properties proves that social responsibility–when properly executed–can maximize profitability. Having broken numerous residential sales pricing records, Blesso Properties has generated more positive publicity than perhaps any other New York City development firm of its size. The firm has the unique distinction of having never defaulted on a loan and never incurred a loss on a development project.

Art and Design

Blesso Properties blurs the boundary between real estate and design with the aim of creating the very best products that also stand alone as works of art. While many projects rely on high budgets as their driving force, our focus on creative design and attention to detail has produced award-winning construction despite aggressive budgets. Our design process begins by ignoring preconceived notions and instead asking how people would most want to live or work in a space, arriving at unique designs that provide the greatest level of enjoyment and utility.

While we don’t limit our designs to any particular style, we embrace sustainability, harmony, organic forms, timelessness, preservation and fun. We aim to enhance the urban experience while providing peaceful, comfortable respite from the overload of city life.

Social Mission

Social responsibility and environmental stewardship remain integral to the success of Blesso Properties. We work hard to ensure that our projects contribute long-term aesthetic value, while reflecting the unique character of neighborhoods and communities. Additionally, to date Matthew Blesso has contributed or raised more than $300,000 for philanthropic causes.
