This includes the 6th and 7th largest real estate transactions of the Pittsburgh region in 1999 with the purchase of Robinson Crossroads and Plaza at the Pointe, both located in Pennsylvania. Since that time, Costa Land Company has acquired a collection of prime retail shopping centers, office and residential buildings throughout the United States.
In 2005, Dr. Costa teamed with Swig Equities to purchase 25 Broad Street, a 346-unit residential conversion, located in the heart of lower Manhattan's Financial District in New York City. Dr. Costa then expanded his portfolio abroad with the purchase of Villa Lilly, a 10,000 square foot luxury villa rental property in Praiano, Italy. More recently, Dr. Costa advanced further into the premier New York City commercial real estate market with the purchases of
