HH Red Stone Properties and HH Fund have been named a 2026 WTOP News Top Workplace, an award determined entirely by employee feedback. The recognition was accepted by Tadros “Teddy” Abdelmalek, Senior Vice President of Business Development for HH Red Stone, on June 18 in Washington, D.C. The award underscores the company's commitment to a culture that drives operational excellence across its nationwide portfolio of nearly 10,000 beds.
“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.” This distinction is particularly significant as it validates the company's internal culture, which is central to its operating philosophy of “functional hospitality” — treating residents as CEOs and running properties with discipline and consistency.
According to Abdelmalek, a strong culture does not mean everything is easy; it means employees understand the company's goals, feel their work matters, and are empowered to make decisions that move assets 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,” he added. This approach has contributed 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, including student housing, multifamily, affordable, and mixed-use properties 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.

The recognition as a WTOP News Top Workplace highlights the importance of employee feedback in shaping company culture and operational success. As HH Red Stone continues to expand its third-party management services, this award serves as a testament to the value of a motivated and empowered workforce in achieving sustainable performance across its properties.
