Roc360, a technology-driven financial services company specializing in residential real estate investment lending, will expand its headquarters at 645 Madison Avenue in Manhattan. The expansion is supported by up to $1.5 million in performance-based tax credits from the Excelsior Jobs Program, provided by Empire State Development (ESD). The move will double Roc360’s office space and create 60 new full-time jobs.
Hope Knight, President, CEO and Commissioner of Empire State Development, said, “Roc360’s expansion in Manhattan reflects New York’s position as a global center of innovation, where finance, technology, and entrepreneurship converge. By deepening their investment here, Roc360 is advancing the next generation of technology-driven financial services that support business growth and economic opportunity. Their decision to grow in New York underscores the strength of our ecosystem—one that continues to attract companies redefining industries and creating high-quality jobs across the state.”
Maksim Stavinsky, Co-Founder and CEO of Roc360, stated: “New York City has always been the foundation of Roc360’s story — a place that embodies ambition, resilience, and innovation. Our expansion here is a reaffirmation of our long-term commitment to the city, its people, and its role as a global hub for finance, technology and innovation. We’re proud to keep growing where our journey began.”
Founded in 2014 and employing more than 400 people globally across four continents, Roc360 has financed over $18 billion in residential real estate investment properties. Its proprietary platform streamlines sourcing, underwriting and managing loans for professional property investors using automated workflows and data-driven decision-making.
The company will lease an additional 6,900 square feet on the 18th floor at its current location. The capital investment of $1.4 million will go toward renovations including design work and upgrading technology infrastructure. The project is expected to be completed by the end of 2025.
Roc360 also plans to invest $12.5 million into research and development over five years to strengthen its analytics engine with advanced machine learning tools for automated underwriting and process optimization.
This expansion highlights New York City’s status as a leading center for fintech firms due to access to skilled talent pools in finance and engineering as well as institutional capital networks.
Empire State Development serves as New York’s chief economic development agency supporting business growth throughout all regions of the state through initiatives such as Regional Economic Development Councils and workforce development programs.
