The BurnBrae Companies

The BurnBrae Companies is a U.S. real estate investment, development, and asset management firm headquartered in Rockville, Maryland in the Washington, D.C. area. Founded in 2009 during the economic downturn with a successful redevelopment of the historic Burn Brae Dinner Theatre into townhomes, the company has since expanded into a diversified real estate platform focused on residential lots, multifamily housing, and commercial redevelopment opportunities. Its approach integrates value-oriented acquisitions, strategic redevelopment, and property management to create long-term investor value and community-centric housing solutions.

BurnBrae’s investment strategy centers on value-add multifamily and residential development, including conventional, affordable, senior, and student housing, with geographic focus in the Mid-Atlantic and Southeastern United States (including DC, Maryland, Virginia, Delaware, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Florida). The firm’s portfolio comprises over $75 million in multifamily real estate and development of 1,500+ residential lots, reflecting disciplined underwriting and asset execution across cycles.

Beyond acquisitions and development, BurnBrae also provides ongoing asset management and property oversight, anticipating market dynamics and managing risk through experienced teams and strong lender relationships. While detailed return metrics (e.g., firm-wide IRR or equity multiple averages) are not publicly posted, the company operates an investor portal for confidential performance tracking and deeper investment documents.
