Empowering Condo and Coop NYC Board Members

The Folson Group's Strategic Partnership with Brick Underground

New York City, the concrete jungle where dreams are made, is also home to some of the most iconic coop and condo buildings in the world. While these buildings may stand as architectural marvels, their management and governance often involve a complex dance of decision-making, responsibilities, and legal intricacies.

Co-op and condo boards face constant challenges with aging buildings, an uptick in building regulations, and only so many hours in the day to keep up with it all. Recognizing the need for a comprehensive platform tailored to the digital first-generation of board members, The Folson Group is excited to announce its strategic partnership with Brick Underground — an award-winning digital platform that helps navigate New York City’s real estate market.

We are thrilled to be part of Brick Underground’s, Co-op and Condo Board Portal, “Boards & Buildings.” This free digital portal empowers board members with knowledge, tools, and insights to make informed decisions.
