Arbour Valley Communities

What Arbour Valley Communities does

Arbour Valley Communities is a privately held, vertically integrated multifamily housing company headquartered in Birmingham, Alabama. Founded and controlled by five principals with 25–35 years of experience in real estate acquisition, land entitlement, construction, and mortgage banking, the company develops, owns, and manages apartment communities across six southeastern U.S. states — Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, South Carolina, and Virginia. Operations are organized through three wholly owned subsidiaries: Arbour Valley Development (development), Arbour Valley Construction (construction management), and Arbour Valley Management (property management and leasing), supplemented by an Asset Management Services capability offered to third-party stakeholders.

The portfolio spans roughly 35+ owned-and-managed communities and 11+ managed-only communities, ranging from Class A market-rate properties (e.g., the 240-unit Arbours at Crown Point in Ocoee, FL, with rooftop solar generating ~8,000 kWh/month) to affordable housing financed through Low Income Housing Tax Credits (LIHTC), Section 42 tax credits, FHA 221(d)(4) loans, HOME funds, CDBG, and tax-exempt bonds. Notable assets include Bristol Downs (288 units, $23.9M rehabilitation in Montgomery, AL), Arbours at Tumblin Creek (64-unit senior housing in Gainesville, FL), Arbours at Lafayette (84-unit family development in Louisiana financed with $7.9M CDBG), and Arbours at Fort King (94 units in Dade City, FL). Technical components emphasize state-of-the-art construction techniques, energy-efficient building practices, and environmentally conscious design.

Revenue is generated through two primary streams: (1) recurring rental income from the owned portfolio of market-rate, workforce, and affordable communities, and (2) fee-based third-party property management, leasing, and asset management services. Go-to-market is sales-led and relationship-driven, targeting market-rate renters directly through on-site leasing offices, and pursuing affordable-housing development mandates via housing finance corporations, housing authorities, and local governments. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Customer segments span market-rate families, affordable families, seniors 55+, veterans, and very low income households (up to 80% AMI under LIHTC Average Income elections).
