A Platform of Ten Operating Companies
From ground-up development to affordable housing, hospitality, and venture capital, each company in our platform operates independently, sharing capital access, underwriting discipline, and Daniel Kaufman’s development philosophy.
Several of these companies also build under a community or asset-class brand — one of Kaufman & Company's eight brands. Each card below names the brand (if any) that company operates. See the full mapping on Brands.
