This year, our LYND RESIDENTIAL PROPERTIES (“LRP”) team celebrates their 14th year in business as a real estate investment company specializing in the acquisition and asset management of multifamily communities throughout the country. During this 14-year period, LRP has sponsored investments in approximately 20,000 apartment units with a total capitalization of over $1 billion and counts some of the industry’s most reputable institutional investors as its partners.
Additionally, 2017 represents the 11th year in business for our LYND DEVELOPMENT PARTNERS (“LDP”) team. LDP has earned the reputation as one of the multifamily industry’s premier development companies with projects such as EnV Chicago, which won the coveted Multifamily Executive’s “High Rise of the Year” award in 2011. LDP has built its successful track record through mostly urban, infill developments and has set record sales prices on its projects in markets such as Chicago, Austin, and Denver.
The LRP and LDP teams have combined to execute on over $3.5 billion of real estate transactions during their collective time in business. Based in San Antonio, Texas with its second corporate office in Denver, Colorado, our teams have primarily invested and developed in the major metropolitan markets of Texas, Colorado, Arizona, and Florida. Historically, LRP and LDP have hired its affiliated property management company, The Lynd Company, to serve as property manager for all of its direct multi-family investments.
Through a deep analysis of the long-term succession and estate planning options for the Lynd family-owned property management company, The Lynd Company, we have decided the best road forward for LRP and LDP is to form our own vertically-integrated property management company separate and apart from The Lynd Company. Our new property management company is already registered and is Kairoi Residential.
