Willow Bridge Property Company
Willow Bridge Property Company is a residential real estate company that manages, develops, and invests in apartment communities across the United States. It was previously the residential division of Lincoln Property Company and took the Willow Bridge name after Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan purchased that division.
Its business services group provides third-party property management, leasing and marketing, and investment, development, and construction services, backed by national purchasing power and procurement services for the communities it runs. The company says it is certified as a Service Organization Control (SOC) organization, and it publishes resident service standards and guidance for renters on avoiding rental scams.
Founded in Dallas, Texas in 1965, the company says it has over 6,000 team members, more than 240,000 units under management, and a presence in 75 markets across the country. It also states it has developed over 200,000 units over the years and holds $3B in owned assets under management, with more than $1B under development.
Unit counts differ between pages of the site, ranging from 180,000 on a company timeline to 240,000 on the business services page. Ask for the current portfolio in the markets where you own, and for the fee structure, which is not published.
