From Junkyard to Jewel: How Damian Szary and Redga…


BOSTON–When Damian Szary co-founded Redgate in 2010, he wasn’t just launching a real estate firm—he was setting out to reshape how urban communities are imagined, built, and lived in.

That vision, formed during the wake of the 2008 financial crisis, was rooted in a belief that transformative projects could come to life beyond the urban core—with the right mix of innovation, collaboration, and long-term thinking.

Fifteen years later, that philosophy is thriving. As Principal and Managing Director of Redgate Capital Partners—the firm’s multifamily investment and development platform—Szary is at the helm of some of Greater Boston’s most ambitious residential communities.

Redgate’s latest development, Gibson Point in Revere, MA, has earned the 2025 Multifamily Excellence Award for redefining waterfront living through wellness-centered design, sustainability, and next-generation amenities.

Founded by a team of seasoned real estate professionals with backgrounds spanning development, finance, and brokerage, Redgate brings a rare, vertically integrated approach to every project. The firm operates across investment, advisory, and project management services, with a proven ability to navigate complex developments from vision to delivery.

With offices in Boston, Bethesda, and Raleigh, and a growing national portfolio, Redgate continues to deliver value by combining institutional expertise with entrepreneurial execution.
