Timeless trust

By Bradley Ellis

Fall River native Anthony F. Cordeiro recognizes the importance of building strong relationships rooted in trust and integrity. His Commercial Real Estate agency Cordeiro Properties (cordeiroproperties. com) exemplifies three decades of endless hard work and dedication to the community. “We are committed to building, growing, and helping to bring valuable opportunities to the Fall River area,” he says. Cordeiro’s passionate words are matched by a tireless work ethic extending throughout his devoted team.

Most impressively, Cordeiro and his agency have been continually ahead of the market curve, confident in taking calculated risks, ultimately yielding beneficial results for all parties involved. Cordeiro Properties has improved Fall River’s downtown through various development projects providing professional business office space, accessible parking facilities, and market-rate residential apartments. For example, Commonwealth Landing has become a staple full-service office and retail building that hosts premier restaurants, organizations, and lofts.

Following suit, the agency completed two recent spotlight properties under the umbrella of TheDowntown Lofts. The two properties include the Benjamin & Nathan Building as well as Trolley Square. Benjamin & Nathan, named after Anthony’s twin nephews, is located at 170 Pleasant Street and includes 20 modern apartments. At 30 Third Street, Trolley Square offers 18 conveniently located market-rate apartments. Between the two buildings, all 38 apartments are now completely rented, a testament to the growing demand.

Cordeiro is known for naming buildings after family members. He named the iconic Kay Building after his wife Kyra, and named the MelCor Building and the Merrill Building after his two daughters, Melanie and Merrill. Both daughters have recently completed their Master’s in Business Administration and have been instrumental in the business’ growth. Melanie, his eldest daughter, worked extensively on the Commonwealth Landing project and Merrill served as a project assistant on The Downtown Lofts.

The dream has always been to pass the torch to the next generation. My daughters are doing a great job of making that a reality.

The family’s passionate vision is centered around building strength and opportunity for the future. Whether it is noticing a need for residential housing or recognizing optimal areas for commercial office space, every action is intentional and meaningful. Cordeiro and his team understand the importance of keeping commitments, as they have proven time and time again with such projects as the Lizzie’s Professional Building and Bristol County Savings Bank Building. When they take on a project, they are invested for the long haul and do everything necessary to ensure it will be a sustainable venture.

Cordeiro has the same outlook on his business. “The dream has always been to pass the torch to the next generation. My daughters are doing a great job of making that a reality.” Ultimately, Anthony F. Cordeiro is playing the long game, taking actionable steps in the present while simultaneously planning for the future. One thing is for sure: he hasn’t just built beautiful trophy properties – he has built timeless trust.
