Elm Grove Companies named 2013 NH Real Estate Business of the Year

Business NH Magazine recently recognized Elm Grove Companies as the 2013 Business of the Year for a construction/engineering/real estate firm. Business NH Magazine was started in 1983 as New Hampshire's first statewide monthly business publication, but over time has developed a readership of 50,000. The magazine focuses on in-depth business coverage, showcasing the strength of the New Hampshire's business community. There are decades of real estate experience between Elm Grove's top executives co-CEO's David Schleyer and Newton Kershaw III and newly appointed COO Chris Schleyer. Recently, the Manchester Historic Association awarded Elm Grove Companies with the Neighborhood Improvement Award for the rehabilitation of the historic Allyson Apartments at 307 Merrimack St. This company has made great strides to preserve the integrity of historic buildings and landmarks in the Manchester community. Additionally, Elm Grove's COO Chris Schleyer has volunteered to serve on the bed bug action committee to teach and inform other landlords on how to battle the bed bug infestations that have affected many in the community. Although Elm Grove Cos. and its executives are involved with many community and nonprofit organizations, Elm Grove has formed a close relationship with the The Way Home, a local nonprofit that helps the homeless to find affordable housing. Elm Grove purchased $10,000 in tax credits to aid in fundraising efforts to build housing for homeless veterans. The company also manages buildings with The Way Home and offers apartments below market rent to the chronically homeless and their families. "We are extremely honored to be receiving the 2013 Business of the Year Award." said Schleyer.
