Simpson Housing

What Simpson Housing does

Simpson Housing (legal entity Simpson Housing LLLP, also operating as Simpson Property Group and SPG) is a Denver-based, fully integrated U.S. multifamily real estate firm that invests in, develops, constructs, and manages luxury apartment and townhome communities. Founded in 1948 and headquartered at 7601 E Technology Way, Suite 600, Denver, CO 80237, the company employs 501-1,000 people and operates a portfolio of more than 100 named multifamily communities across 15 U.S. states — Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Maryland, Massachusetts, Nevada, North Carolina, Oregon, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, and Washington — concentrated in major Sun Belt and Pacific metros including Denver, Austin, Dallas, Houston, Atlanta, Charlotte, Nashville, Phoenix, Seattle, and Portland.

The company generates revenue primarily through recurring monthly apartment and townhome rentals under a direct-to-consumer go-to-market model: prospective residents search and inquire via a state/city/neighborhood-indexed apartment search platform on simpsonpropertygroup.com, with property marketing supported by an organic blog and social channels. Its vertically integrated platform covers development, construction oversight, investment management, and on-site property operations including maintenance, leasing, and amenity programming (pools, fitness centers, dog parks, rooftop lounges). The company reports $19 million of cumulative investment in sustainable upgrades and ESG initiatives and holds the NGBS Green Partner of Excellence 2023 designation.

Ownership shifted in March 2026 when Domain Capital Group — Simpson's investment advisor since 2008 — completed acquisition of the company from the State of Michigan Retirement Systems, transitioning Domain from advisor to outright owner. Simpson continues to operate under its established brand with existing leadership (President Venita DeHaven, CFO Bruce Eldredge, CIO Michael Casper). Under the new ownership, the company has introduced commingled fund vehicles for institutional investors, signaling a multi-LP capital structure intended to support further platform scaling. Pricing is not publicly disclosed, and revenue, unit counts, and cap-table details are not disclosed in the available source material.
