HH Red Stone Properties and HH Fund have been named a 2026 WTOP News Top Workplace, an award determined solely by employee feedback. Tadros “Teddy” Abdelmalek, Senior Vice President of Business Development for HH Red Stone, accepted the award on the company’s behalf 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.”
For HH Red Stone, the recognition reflects an operating philosophy the company calls “functional hospitality” — treating residents as CEOs and running properties with the discipline and consistency that drive sustainable success across its nationwide portfolio of nearly 10,000 beds.
“A strong culture does not mean everything is easy,” Abdelmalek added. “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®. For more information, visit www.hhredstone.com.
This award underscores the importance of employee-driven culture in the property management industry, particularly as HH Red Stone expands its third-party management services. The company’s focus on functional hospitality aims to create environments where both employees and residents thrive, potentially setting a new standard for operational excellence in student housing and multifamily properties.
