Redwood Living

Redwood Living (accessible at byredwood.com) is a U.S. real estate development and build-to-rent (BTR) owner-operator known for creating single-story apartment neighborhoods that provide a rental experience resembling a single-family home. Their signature homes include two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and an attached garage — designed to combine community living with the comforts of suburban residential living rather than traditional multi-level apartments.

Since its founding in 1991, Redwood has expanded across multiple Midwestern and Southeastern states, developing and managing 20,000+ apartment homes in 160+ neighborhoods and continuing to grow with new neighborhoods under development. Unlike many sponsors that build and then sell properties, Redwood’s model emphasizes long-term ownership and property management through its in-house construction and operations teams.

The firm also offers investment opportunities — typically through private placement deals tied to specific neighborhood developments (e.g., preferred equity offerings for new build-to-rent neighborhoods) — providing accredited investors with a chance to participate in the financing and value creation of these suburban rental communities.
