Business and Personal Philosophy
Zaretsky Enterprises was founded in the early 1900s by a young Polish carpenter named Harry Zaretsky in pursuit of the American dream. After almost a century and two additional generations of hard work and business acumen, the Zaretsky family has built an impressive record of accomplishments in the real estate industry.
Today, the firm is a diversified professional organization with extensive real estate holdings and a portfolio of construction and management achievements. Among its specialization, Zaretsky Enterprises owns and manages numerous rental apartment buildings, condominium buildings and cooperative conversions. It has built single-family homes for middle income and high-income markets. Among its asset are office buildings and undeveloped commercial and residential land.
Other divisions of Zaretsky Enterprises include heavy construction, in-house maintenance and repair contracting, management of bank-owned assets and new home construction.
Three generations of family have built this corporation into one of substance and distinction. Members of the Zaretsky family have distinguished themselves by service to the community and by unshakable loyalty to the friends and business partners who worked along with them through their years of growth and accomplishment. This personal philosophy has further enhanced the valued reputation for commitment and integrity that this family business enjoys.
The Manor at Woodside, a 126-unit Senior living community, has been a labor of love for the family development company, Zaretsky Enterprises, for over six years. Irving Zaretsky, President Emeritus, purchases the Cummins Estate in 1973. Two sites from the estate were developed in 1975 as professional office buildings. The final site, consisting of six acres, remained undeveloped until Irving and his son, Alan, determined that the "right use of this property" was as a senior housing residence. So began the six-year journey to bring Irving's dream of developing the "last piece of the puzzle," to reality -- a dream that, tragically, Irving did not see fulfilled due to his death in 1996 during the approval process for The Manor with the City of Poughkeepsie. His son, Alan, carried on with his father's plan to provide a non-institutional housing alternative to seniors that was not available in the Poughkeepsie area.
