The Hanover Company

What The Hanover Company does

The Hanover Company is a privately held, family-owned real estate development firm founded in 1982 in Houston, Texas by Murry Bowden. The company operates a vertically integrated platform spanning multifamily development, industrial development, in-house construction, and property management, with the Bowden family (Murry as Founder & Executive Chairman, Brandt as CEO, Jeb as COO) controlling ownership and no external private equity or institutional investment at the corporate level. The firm's portfolio extends across 19 states and 106 cities, encompassing 70,580+ multifamily units built cumulatively and 15 million square feet of industrial space, with current activity including 22 projects under construction (4,558 units, ~$2B capitalization), $7B in multifamily total project capitalization, and a growing industrial pipeline.

Core revenue streams are (1) multifamily development and operation of luxury residential communities leased directly to residents through on-site leasing offices and property-specific websites, (2) industrial development and leasing of logistics/warehouse facilities in low-vacancy markets, and (3) third-party property management services. Distribution is primarily direct (on-site leasing offices, individual property websites, corporate site) supplemented by commercial real estate brokers (CBRE, Faron Wiley) for industrial leasing. The company supports operations through five U.S. regional offices (Houston headquarters, Bay Area, Boston, Los Angeles, Bethesda) and a Global Support Services center in Ahmedabad, India with 100+ team members, and is led by a long-tenured management team that has overseen tens of thousands of apartment units across multiple decades. Pricing on individual apartment leases is not publicly disclosed and varies by property, location, unit type, and market conditions.
