ABOUT
St Katherine Group
Focus on Growth and Local Expertise
St Katherine Group is a real estate development firm located in Westchester County, and has headquarters in Port Chester, NY. With an emphasis on transit-oriented development and community-conscious design, St Katherine Group has quickly emerged as an influential voice in the local development community. Principal Nick Williams pairs boundless energy with financial acumen from his previous career and nearly a decade’s worth of real estate experience to drive St Katherine’s development operations.


Our History
The company was founded in 2010 in the UK by Terry Williams and Sunil Shah. Originally intended to be a lending vehicle to developers following the financial crash, St Katherine quickly assumed the role of developer and has since completed numerous student housing developments in London and Southampton.
Core Functions
The St Katherine Group’s multi-disciplinary approach is organized around 3 core functions: Development, Investment and Construction.
Development
Development drives our investment strategy. Unlike many other developers who build to satisfy their own aspirations, we work closely with municipalities to build what is needed. We then identify, analyze and underwrite the projects that align with the group’s overall strategy.
Investment
St Katherine Equity Partners manages and structures each project with the most efficient use of available debt and equity. It’s our policy to always invest in our own projects alongside our investment partners. This commitment ensures both of our objectives are aligned.
Construction
Our in house construction team acts as the owner’s representative/construction manager from inception to completion. We are committed to building responsibly and seek out the latest innovations in energy efficiency and eco-friendly techniques and technology.
