ABOUT

Formed in 1998, GDS (which stands for Growth, Diligence and Sustainability) is a family owned and operated real estate company that self-manages its multifamily residential real estate holdings.

National in scope, our core real estate business is focused on value-added multifamily properties with a further focus on workforce housing, student housing and independent senior housing - in markets with high barriers to entry.

We acquire with precision, professionally rehab and always actively hands-on manage our real estate assets.

Our old-fashioned "boots on the ground" approach endures throughout the entire process - from: (i) asset identification, (ii) acquisition and especially, through (iii) on-going property management and operations.

Managing our own properties helps ensure that they are being managed efficiently, safely and sustainably.
We run our firm with prudence, ingenuity and always with a view towards creating long-term value.

We operate in markets throughout the U.S. and provide our residents with safe, quality, value-priced housing, coupled with attentive management and responsive 24-hour maintenance.

We built our Company with the time-honored principles of: Integrity, Hard Work and Service to our valued residents.

MANAGEMENT

Our focus has been on secondary markets and typically class "B" Multifamily Properties of 100+ Units in-size. Over the last few years, we also expanded into self-storage sector.

We're not in the business of: "Buy it, Fix it and Flip it."

However, we are in the business of: "Buy it, Fix It, Manage it Well and Hold it Long-Term."

Many In our Real Estate Business are brilliant risk-takers.

We focus instead on being rational. That's our big advantage.
