Our Vision
We’re passionate about cultivation
We cultivate vibrant communities that create opportunities for dynamic, fulfilling interpersonal exchange. We believe that neighborhood placemaking should form the core of every residential community.
We cultivate the capital of our partners and investors — always seeking out the best possible risk adjusted returns, often in overlooked or unexpected locations.
We cultivate camaraderie through clear, seamless communication. We pride ourselves on our ability to assemble the most talented professionals in pursuit of exceptional execution.
We encourage innovation, creativity and risk-taking that challenges the status quo in pursuit of the growth of our associates and the success of our development teams.
We’re all about relationships
Brook Farm Group is the culmination of the lifelong friendship and professional collaboration of our co-founders. Peter DiCorpo and Eric Hade met as undergraduates at Colgate University and ultimately pursued parallel paths in commercial real estate before deciding to forge a common path. The result is a company that is built on a bedrock of trust and seamless, ego-free communication and collaboration. That foundation is bolstered by a combined 50+ years of principal experience and in-depth expertise that spans every aspect of multifamily residential investment and development. It is further enhanced by decades-long relationships with developers, lenders, equity partners, brokers, engineers, architects, consultants and municipal authorities throughout our target geography.
We’re nimble
Our deliberately lean organizational structure enables us to stay focused and ensure that we can always adapt rapidly and respond intelligently to ever-changing market conditions.
Our flexible capital partners support our vision and enable us to make quick decisions and rapidly capitalize on unique, market-making opportunities. We pursue both direct and co-development opportunities and often partner with our network of third-party developers as a means of gaining scale and geographic breadth.
Our Focus
With more than a half-century of combined experience across more than 40,000 apartment homes and over $10 billion in capitalized transaction value, we have a proven track record of successfully developing and managing a wide variety of residential and mixed-use communities. We combine institutional discipline and underwriting practices with boots-on-the-ground operational expertise to identify attractive opportunities in traditionally non-institutional markets and submarkets.
Ground-Up Development
We develop garden-style, mid-rise and high-rise apartments, build-to-rent townhome and single family, and mixed-use communities. They span the gamut from boutique properties with fewer than 50 homes to larger, multi-phase projects with more than 500 homes.
Joint Venture and Co-Development
We frequently partner with other developers providing a combination of development services and capital, including pursuit costs capital, credit enhancements, sponsor capital and participating limited partner equity.

We are focused on path-of-growth and lifestyle markets throughout the Sunbelt and Mountain states.
