Revitalizing the
historic neighborhoods
of middle America.
CPR Property Group acquires and reimagines small-to-mid-size apartment buildings in the gentrifying cities of Ohio, Pennsylvania, and New York State — preserving character while bringing authenticity, quality, and opportunity back to the urban core.
Authentic places.
Real neighborhoods. Lasting value.
Across America, towns and cities of all sizes are dusting off neglected downtowns and putting policies in place that encourage redevelopment. Driving this shift is a new generation’s desire to live, work, and build community in authentic places with robust historical connections.
We recognized this trend early. While based in New York, we built proprietary analytic tools to uncover the best opportunities in these emerging markets — properties too small for institutional investors and too often overlooked locally. We acquire, reposition, and hold for the long term; improving buildings, appreciating value, and contributing to the virtuous cycle that lifts the neighborhoods around them.
Preserve the character.
Upgrade the standard.
Keep it affordable.
Our buildings are historical by nature — full of the detail and craftsmanship a new build can’t replicate. We bring them to modern standards of safety, efficiency, and comfort while keeping rents attractive for the communities we invest in.
A disciplined
four-step approach.
From sourcing overlooked opportunities to long-term stewardship, every CPR investment follows the same proven playbook — built over two decades of hands-on practice.
Proprietary
market analytics
Our tools surface the best small-to-mid-size buildings in emerging urban cores — deals too small for institutions and too fast-moving for local competition.
Disciplined,
decisive underwriting
We move quickly and purposefully. Every acquisition is underwritten for durable cash flow, historic character, and repositioning upside.
Respectful,
modern upgrades
Safety, efficiency, and liveability brought to contemporary standards — without erasing the texture that makes each building matter.
Buy-and-hold,
continuously reinvested
Professional on-site management backed by technology. Constant reinvestment improves our assets — and the neighborhoods that surround them.
Two decades of
quiet, consistent results.

Twenty-five years
of real estate, done
the right way.
CPR was founded by Noah Smith — a New York–based broker, investor, and developer with more than two decades of experience across residential, mixed-use, and multifamily conversions. His signature style is visible in every project we touch: eco-conscious buildings that respect their neighborhoods, and create a better environment for owners, tenants, and the communities around them.
Property management and construction is handled by our sister company, NS Construction, so every building is managed and maintained by the same team that acquired and repositioned it.

knows these markets cold.
We work with private investors who want exposure to well-underwritten, long-hold apartment buildings in the cities rewriting their own futures. If that sounds like you, let’s talk.
