Falcon Cornerstone is available through select appointed brokers only.

Cornerstone has been developed to provide a single, comprehensive insurance solution for the rapidly evolving real-estate development sector, estimated at over 63,000 developers in the US as of 2023. Cornerstone is the twenty-fifth product launched since Falcon’s inception in 2021, further enhancing its reputation as a product driven organization and complementing its suite of real estate focused products which includes Real Estate Agents E&O and Real Estate Developers E&O.
