The GDC Difference

Martin Ginsburg, founder and principal of GDC, is, first and foremost, an architect. As a result of his attention to design, site planning, and detail, GDC’s developments in New York and Connecticut have won numerous design and community planning awards.

With over 60 years of experience and market leadership, GDC has built many of the region’s most successful and prestigious luxury developments, including Boulder Ridge, Pondside, Mystic Pointe, The Fairways, Quaker Green, Gillette Ridge, Marbury Corners, and Christie Place. You can readily see why GDC has earned its reputation as the region’s premier residential developer.

In Rockland County, GDC’s Harbors-at-Haverstraw waterfront community has become a model for redevelopment along the shores of the Hudson River, featuring superior architecture, traditional neighborhood design, and lush landscaping – including an award-winning riverfront park with a noted sculpture trail and a dock for the Haverstraw-to-Ossining commuter ferry. Parkside, Riverside, and The Waterfront at Harbors have long been Rockland County’s leading luxury rental properties… and the newly opened Admirals Cove next door has raised the bar once again.

Continuing a focus on the Hudson River, the company has seven luxury rentals now marketing in Westchester’s river communities: River Tides, 1177, and Stratus in the Greystone neighborhood of Yonkers; 70 Pier in Yonkers’ Ludlow neighborhood, The Lofts in Hastings-on-Hudson, Harbor Square in Ossining, and Fort Hill Apartments in Peekskill.

1 Martine and The Metro in downtown White Plains are part of GDC’s full-city-block mixed-use City Square complex, a model for live-work-play development.

In 2020, 2021, 2022, and 2023, the readers of Westchester Magazine voted GDC as Westchester’s Best Luxury Apartment Developer and River Tides as the Best Rental Building.

GDC’s luxury rental development pipeline includes Bridgewater North and South at the Ludlow Metro-North Station in Yonkers, and Peekskill Landing, a proposed mixed-use development across from the Peekskill Metro-North Station, fronting the city’s waterfront park.

The office component of City Square (50 Main Street and 11 Martine Avenue) is part of a select portfolio of Westchester County commercial properties owned and managed by GDC. 50 Main is White Plains’ most successful multi-tenant office building, with 95% occupancy.  11 Martine is fully leased to the Westchester County Department of Health for its administrative office.

The motto at GDC is “Always with Integrity.” Customer service is a big part of GDC’s brand, and every employee is dedicated to doing his or her best for the customer. “We don’t just build homes. We build communities and relationships,” says Martin Ginsburg.
