The Roost Difference

From 2013 - 2023, Roost DC managed condo associations and cooperatives in the city. We operated alongside Nest DC for a decade, and we mixed things up! Roost was designed to be an employee owned company. A point of pride, and a differentiator. We were the regions only employee owned management firm and as far as we know, the only one in the country.

It was our pleasure preserving our city’s architecture, quality of life and rich urban culture. Unit owners and association and board members should feel confident that their investment is both protected and preserved as they transition to our peer management company, EJF.

We’re still here making a difference. Visit birdSEED, our housing justice foundation and come see us at Nest, where we continue to mix things up.
