REAL ESTATE DEVELOPMENT CO-OP

Why Merus?

Formerly known as Al. Neyer, Merus combines more than 130 years of commercial real estate expertise with an integrated team of company owners. We specialize in the construction, development, ownership, and management of a diverse portfolio of real estate assets across a growing footprint in the eastern U.S.

We’re all owners here. This not only sets us apart but deeply influences our culture and operations.
