What Rudeen Development does

Rudeen Development, LLC is a privately held real estate developer founded in December 1986 by Kevin Rudeen and headquartered in Liberty Lake, Washington. The company develops residential apartment complexes, condominiums, office/warehouse, and retail buildings — and to a lesser extent industrial parks and residential subdivisions — primarily in Washington State and Idaho, with past activity in Nevada. Project scale ranges from 15-unit duplex clusters (Buckeye Villas) to 396-unit multi-phase apartment complexes (The Amelia Apartments in Post Falls, Idaho), with current 2021-2022 construction underway at The Amelia, Apartments Twenty-Six, The Marjorie at Aspen Park, and Knox Lane III office/warehouse in Liberty Lake.

The business is vertically integrated with affiliated Rudeen Management Company, Inc. (separately incorporated in July 1998 under Kevin Rudeen's sole ownership), which manages most completed multifamily properties and handles leasing through property-specific websites. Revenue mechanics combine one-time development and sale events on build-to-sell or stabilized assets with recurring property management fees and rental income on retained units held by the affiliate. GTM is direct: a basic company website showcases the portfolio, per-property websites drive tenant leasing, and inbound phone/contact-form inquiries handle commercial and development deal flow.

The company is founder-controlled (Kevin Rudeen holds 99% of Rudeen Development LLC as Managing Member and is sole shareholder of the management affiliate), with a small leadership team consisting of CFO Kirk Kappen (University of Washington, 1994; with the company since 1996), Controller Scott Lartz, and Construction Coordinator Chris Wilhelm. The company has no external institutional investors, no public listing, no AI/technology stack, no API offerings, and no disclosed revenue or funding history.
