About the Company
ArtHaus Partners creates housing that is both inspiring and attainable. Founded in Oakland, we design, develop, and manage homes for the urban workforce—renters who have too often been priced out of the communities they support. With roots dating back to 1977, our team has grown into a fully integrated company committed to reimagining affordable housing.
Today we hold over $800 million in assets across 160 profitable residential and multifamily projects, with over 3700 units under management and development in over 60 buildings. By adhering to our five core investment principles – cycle resistance, resident experience, efficiency, cash flow and impact – we consistently create value.
