HH Red Stone Properties and HH Fund have been named a 2026 WTOP News Top Workplace, an award determined entirely by employee feedback, underscoring the company's commitment to a strong internal culture that drives performance in property management.
Tadros 'Teddy' Abdelmalek, Senior Vice President of Business Development for HH Red Stone, accepted the award on June 18 in Washington, D.C. 'What makes this recognition meaningful is that it came from the team,' said Abdelmalek. 'It was not something we submitted about ourselves or a story we tried to tell from the outside. It was based on how our people actually feel inside the organization.'
The recognition reflects HH Red Stone's operating philosophy of 'functional hospitality,' which treats residents as CEOs and runs properties with discipline and consistency. The company manages nearly 10,000 beds across a nationwide portfolio that includes student housing, multifamily, affordable, and mixed-use properties.
Abdelmalek emphasized that a strong culture is not about perfection but about alignment and empowerment. 'A strong culture does not mean everything is easy,' he said. 'It means people know what we are trying to accomplish, they know their work matters, and they feel empowered to make decisions that move the asset and the company forward. The best performing assets are usually not the ones with one big idea. They are the ones where the team executes hundreds of small things consistently. That is where culture becomes performance.'
The Top Workplaces distinction adds to a string of recent recognitions for HH Red Stone, which earlier this year was also ranked among the top 10 student housing companies nationally by ORA®.
HH Red Stone is the property management arm of HH Group, managing approximately 10,000 beds across multiple asset classes nationwide. After a decade of exclusively managing HH Group's owned portfolio, the company launched its third-party management vertical to serve other owners with the same institutional-grade approach it applies to its own assets. The company's operating philosophy centers on 'functional hospitality' – treating residents as CEOs and maintaining operations with discipline and consistency for sustainable success.

For business leaders, this recognition highlights how employee satisfaction can directly correlate with operational excellence and asset performance. A culture that empowers employees to execute consistently can be a competitive advantage in property management, where attention to detail and resident experience are critical. The award also signals that HH Red Stone's approach may be scalable for third-party management, potentially offering value to other property owners seeking institutional-grade management.
