In addition, the company is also working on several individual apartment developments (1,000+ units).

With a service matters operating philosophy, our team is passionate about supporting residents across our portfolio, building better environments that fuel happier residents, improving investor returns and creating a strong sense of purpose that drives what we do every day.

ColRich’s portfolio includes $1.05 billion of equity actively invested through December 2025 in 89 deals across 9 states. These include master-planned community developments and 20,000+ multifamily units.

Our Approach:

A vertically integrated, hands-on approach is at the core of our company’s capabilities. Deep in-house construction, design, finance and asset management expertise ensures that our essential functions are managed internally and operationally intertwined to produce indisputable long-term value for our stakeholders. Our communities are built to last, offering enduring and stable environments where our residents will thrive.
