Building the Next Generation of Real Estate & Infrastructure
Founded by Daniel Kaufman, Kaufman & Company™ is a vertically integrated owner, not a passive allocator. We buy land and existing assets, then fund, entitle, design, build and manage them ourselves for the long term, across ten operating companies spanning multifamily, hotels, resorts, industrial, commercial, mixed use, AI infrastructure and data centers.
The operating-company count, project value, unit, and state figures reflect Kaufman & Company's platform-wide track record, including 1,100+ hotel rooms, combining legacy activity dating back to the Kaufman family office's founding in 1956 with growth under Daniel Kaufman's stewardship since the company's official launch on February 1, 2020, and represent current assets under management as of October 2026.
Buy. Build. Hold.
Ten operating companies under one permanent-capital holding company. We buy land and existing assets, develop and build them ourselves, and own and manage what we create for the long term. Every project is funded with our own capital through the Kaufman family office. We do not raise outside capital, lend, or enter joint ventures, and we do not sell the assets we hold.
Buy
We acquire land, existing assets and companies that fit the platform, across multifamily, hotels, resorts, industrial, commercial, mixed use, and AI infrastructure and data centers. We close with our own capital and buy to hold.

Eight development companies carry every project from site selection through entitlement, engineering, design, construction and stabilization, so one platform is accountable from the first survey to the first resident.

Outside of the homes DK Homes builds for buyers, we keep what we build. Kaufman Real Estate & Consulting is the back office for every company on the platform, covering finance, banking, asset management and IT, and manages each asset for the long term. Convivium Living runs its co-living communities in-house, and Kaufman Ventures builds the technology our companies run on, including BridgeStar™ and Meridian™.

Daniel Kaufman’s development philosophy, applied across every company.
Strategic Site Selection
Every project starts with rigorous site and market alignment, not just where land is available, but where demand is durable.
Integrated Execution
Design and construction run together, not in sequence, the same discipline that lets DEK Builds stand behind what it builds for decades.
Risk Mitigation at Every Stage
Underwriting discipline carried from acquisition through stabilization, identifying what could go wrong before capital is committed.
Daniel Kaufman
“Our 2026 launch slate marks the full convergence of real estate and technology.”
