EXCELLENCE in the results that we produce.

Headquartered in the Kansas City suburb of Overland Park, Kansas, Cohen- Esrey’s roots in real estate go back to 1969. Since the
n we have been dedicated to enhancing the communities where we work by acquiring, developing and managing multi-family properties and providing rewarding investment opportunities for communities, organizations and individuals. Our cumulative multi-family portfolio over the past four-plus decades totals more than 65,000 units in more than 525 properties. Our Strategic Advantage: Vertical Integration Platform
Our Vertical Integration Platform enables us to add significant value to each of our multi-family assets. We simplify and streamline the complexity of apartment investing to the benefit of our residents, investors and the communities we serve. Our family of companies provides a wide range of services including apartment acquisitions, development, management, construction, maintenance service, building components supply, tax credit syndication and equity procurement. Strategic Market-Rate Apartment Investments:
Our market-rate apartment acquisition program delivered through Cohen-Esrey Apartment Investors, LLC, is highly targeted to Class B apartments constructed in the 1990s and early to mid-2000s. We select cities with strong population growth, job growth and Class B rent growth. We’re also looking for a wide spread between Class A and Class B rents. The apartment communities we identify are generally 200-units or larger and require a moderate expenditure on physical improvements. Ultimately we want to achieve the Best B apartment product that mimics a Class A property but at rents that are hundreds of dollars less than Class A. Our properties are designed to appeal to Millennials and Baby Boomers both from a physical as well as an operational standpoint. With nearly fifty years in the apartment sector, Cohen-Esrey understands how to create a balance in quality living environments for the benefit of our residents while generating strong risk-adjusted returns for the benefit of our investors. Affordable Housing Development
We are experts at designing innovative funding solutions to provide high quality housing options for working families and fixed income senior citizens. Solving these challenges requires intellectual capital, experience, and deep relationships with a multitude of stakeholders. We utilize federal and state affordable housing tax credits, federal and state historic tax credits, tax-exempt bonds and other creative debt and equity sources. What sets us apart, however, is the question we come to work with every day:
“How can we create a thriving community that changes people’s lives for the better?”
Our affordable housing development program involves new construction, acquisition and renovation of existing apartment properties and the adaptive re-use of historic buildings. Beyond the “sticks and bricks,” we strive to create a community that not only enhances the lives of the residents, but also has a positive impact on the greater community to which the property belongs. We deliver on this promise through strategic partnerships with nonprofits like PreservingUS, Inc. that share our commitment to supporting the residents of our properties. Cohen-Esrey Affordable Partners, LLC is committed to providing more than a technically innovative, high quality housing development. We are expanding our definition of success to include attractive, people-centric spaces with a safety net of support services for those who need them. We believe this will result in engaged and fulfilled residents who feel pride in their home and community. Our Leadership Team
At Cohen-Esrey, leadership is not about authority. It’s about aiming high and exceeding expectations for our residents, development partners, investors and team members. Our cadre of experienced and talented professionals steward our investment and development initiatives with skill and care, guided by our Core Values.
