What Flaherty & Collins Properties does

Flaherty & Collins Properties is a privately held, vertically integrated real estate company founded in 1993 and headquartered in Indianapolis, Indiana. The firm operates across four core capabilities: Development, Construction, Property Management, and Investments, with a focus on multifamily, mixed-use, urban infill, and transit-oriented developments. The company specializes in market-rate, luxury, and affordable housing, frequently structured through public-private partnerships that leverage tax increment financing (TIF) and other municipal incentive packages. Since founding, Flaherty & Collins has developed over $2 billion in real estate across more than 30 markets in the Midwest, Northeast, and Southeast, delivering 18,371 multifamily units across 109 current properties and managing 62,000 units since inception.

The company's revenue is generated through three primary streams: (1) one-time development fees, property sales, and equity gains from joint venture developments, with individual project sizes ranging from $30M to $200M+; (2) recurring property management fees from a 357-property managed portfolio serving both owned assets and third-party institutional owners such as Spruce Capital Partners and PROMUS; and (3) self-performed construction on owned developments, which captures construction margin and provides cost certainty. Current major projects include the $211M Peninsula in Columbus, OH (with Daimler Group), the $200M August at Steelpointe Harbor in Bridgeport, CT (with RCI Group), the $80M Franklin at 11th Street Station in Michigan City, IN, the $66M Cove at 47th in Cape Coral, FL, and the $66M Blutowne in East Peoria, IL. The company is led by CEO Robert Flaherty following a 2026 leadership transition, employs 476+ people, and operates a second corporate office in Kansas City opened in September 2025.
