From South Africa to Southern California, the ColRich story is a decades-long journey of growth, continuous reinvention and a culture of caring. Through generations of family ownership, the ColRich brand has evolved, but the company’s foundation remains the same today as in the beginning; build lasting communities through a culture centered around innovation, humility and a commitment to helping others – ColRich Thrive .

Our Bio:

ColRich is a real estate, construction and investment firm focused on value-add, residential real estate in strategic locations primarily in the Western U.S. Our platform’s sustainability is assured through long- term ownership enabled by long-term debt and equity. We are focused on enduring, tax-efficient cash flow for our investors.

In the multifamily space, we actively maximize cash-on-cash returns and capital appreciation by acquiring properties with upside through extensive renovation and improved management. Leveraging our unique homebuilding background and construction platform, we reposition these older properties as design-forward, affordable workforce housing alternatives to newer Class A product.

Our development history includes the successful entitlement, construction, marketing and sales of single- family homes, townhomes, mid-rise condominiums and apartments. Currently we are bringing to market two master-planned, destination-oriented communities offering a combined 5,000+ homes (both for sale and rental) over a 10-year time horizon. 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.

Our Current Portfolio:

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.

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.
