Job description

ArtHaus Partners is setting a new benchmark for workforce housing. Our innovative approach to multifamily development creates beautiful and well-appointed apartments for our residents at an attainable price point. We develop, manage, and operate a portfolio of 4,000 units, including 1,700 in development across 60 buildings representing $1B in real estate assets.

The ArtHaus Partners team includes +40 talented real estate development & construction, asset management, and investment professionals operating in the Bay Area for over 20 years. The firm’s Principals have worked together for over a decade in ground-up development and value-add opportunistic strategies establishing a strong track record of managed growth and performance.

ArtHaus Partners serves the “missing middle” segment of workforce housing– people earning 80-120% of an area's median income– as the housing supply for this demographic has not kept pace with its rapid growth. More recently, the company has expanded into student housing to address the needs of this adjacent underserved market.

ArtHaus Partners focuses on developing purpose-built, comfortable, transit-oriented, affordable housing accessible to everyone. The firm believes in making an impact in the communities it serves “doing well by doing good”. Please learn more at www.arthauspartners.com.
