About Us
Who We Are
Since its founding in 2015, Park Grove has developed a portfolio of over 1800 apartment units and 250,000 square feet of commercial or retail space and has completed over 250 million dollars in acquisitions and development. In that time Park Grove has completed significant community development projects including state-of-the-art rehabilitation of historic structures and important state sponsored urban development. Park Grove’s property management company has grown correspondingly as part of our business strategy to own and manage everything that we develop. Park Grove’s portfolio is currently concentrated in Western New York, Southern New Jersey, and the Medical Research Triangle area of North Carolina (Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill).
Our
Story
Park Grove Realty was founded on a shared vision by cousins Andrew Crossed and Andrew Bodewes, who have worked together since the early 2000s. Their journey in real estate began at Conifer Realty, a company established in 1975 by Andrew Crossed’s father, Richard. Crossed spent 25 years at Conifer, starting in the early 1990s, and was later joined by Bodewes in 2003.
Their roots run deep in Elmira, NY, where their parents (siblings) grew up on Walnut Street across from Grove Park. Bodewes later lived on Grove Street as a child, while Crossed, visiting from Rochester, spent summers with their grandmother on Walnut Street. Many of their childhood days were filled with memories of playing together in Grove Park—a place that would later inspire their company’s name.

In 2015, with decades of industry experience, a passion for housing and Richard Crossed’s retirement, the cousins set out to build something of their own. Leveraging their expertise and shared commitment to community development, they founded Park Grove Realty.
Their first project transformed a historic industrial building in Rochester, NY, into a state-of-the-art mixed-use development. From there, the company expanded into market-rate housing, commercial properties, mixed-use developments, and medical office spaces.
Today, Park Grove Realty manages a growing portfolio of over 1,800 apartment homes and 250,000 square feet of commercial space across New York, New Jersey, and North Carolina. With a dedicated team of over 50 employees and more than 50 years of combined experience, the company remains committed to creating high-quality, community-focused developments that enhance neighborhoods and provide long-term value.
