About Stonecutter

Based in New York City, Stonecutter’s principals bring their collective base of relationships and deal making experience to real estate transactions. Stonecutter is a boutique firm that operates entrepreneurially yet presents institutionally, that is nimble in its decision making and execution yet disciplined in its approach to risk. The commitment to integrity and faithful reporting of progress are guiding principles of Stonecutter’s approach to business.
