A History of Development by Design
Dakota Partners is a real estate development company with deep roots in design and engineering, reflecting the backgrounds of cofounders Roberto Arista and Marc Daigle. Both owned successful development companies when they decided to join forces in 2006, correctly presuming that their collective experience in the worlds of design, construction and real estate would produce extraordinary results.
The arrival of Steve Kominski in 2007 added an element of finance expertise that completed the equation. Today, Dakota Partners features teams in development and asset management and our project leaders effectively collaborate with state agencies and local governments, as well as investors and lenders, to ensure satisfaction for all stakeholders. Our commitment to sustainable and energy-efficient design and construction is unbreakable, and our attention to detail, appreciation of aesthetics and insistence on functional design combine to Create Housing That Matters.
The need and demand for affordable family housing is strong in East Greenwich, and initiatives like Brookside Terrace are integral to solving our state’s affordable housing crisis and providing well-paying jobs while creating vibrant communities with good homes. Brookside Terrace provides much needed affordable housing in a highly desirable community with only limited affordable housing options. Whether living in an urban, suburban or rural setting, Rhode Islanders need rental options that they can afford, and in communities where they want to live.”

“I love the culture that Marc and Roberto have cultivated at Dakota. They’re not looking over our shoulder and micromanaging our days. They place a lot of trust in us and I think they’ve built an excellent team to meet the company’s vision and goals. We value teamwork and collaboration and that has definitely contributed to the success and growth we’ve seen over the last few years.”
