Frances Gonzales's Company Details
Established in 1994 by Christiana Foglio, founder and CEO, and certified as a Woman-Owned Business Enterprise (WBE), Community Investment Strategies, Inc. (CIS) is a fully integrated commercial real estate company specializing in multi-family housing, mixed-use redevelopments and market-rate and affordable housing. Thanks to its niche positioning, the company has doubled its volume in the past several years to a portfolio of more than 3,000 units valued in excess of $400 million. CIS distinguishes itself from its competitive set by providing in-house finance, development, construction and property management services, as well as social programming for tenants of all ages and personal and health-related services for seniors. The company is currently expanding its suburban and urban initiatives to incorporate market-rate and affordable housing components, as well as special needs housing, as a catalyst for economic development. CIS partners with community groups and tenant organizations; public officials; and local, state and federal agencies to identify potential opportunities for creative housing solutions that advance local revitalization efforts.
