Burkely Communities is a classic owner-operator. Development and acquisition are the paths we take to building our owned portfolio—and underpinning both is our long-term investment horizon.
investment overview
Burkely’s long-term approach to ownership yields decisions—whether in the development process, renovation or repositioning, acquisition, and always property management—that are far more likely to create value and better options for our investors.
With either development or acquisition, Burkely engages in a disciplined process grounded in three decades of experience, for both its own account and for like-minded clients and investors.

"Development and acquisition are paths to creating long-term value. Our investment horizon means decisions far more likely to create lasting worth — for residents, partners, and communities."
We build to hold. We acquire to improve. And we manage to serve—because sustainable value comes from long-term stewardship, not short-term optimization.
development
Burkely’s team has experience in the development of conventional multifamily, student housing and mixed-use communities, as well as the renovation and repositioning of older vintage multifamily assets.
Burkely understands the importance of taking advantage of opportunity in an attractive market. We have an experienced team in place to assist as you navigate the complex task of planning and developing a new community.
Burkely actively studies the market and evaluates acquisition deals through deep analysis to ensure maximum return on investment. Our long-term ownership horizon means we acquire to hold and improve—not to flip.
Burkely has a long history of not only renovating interiors and exteriors, but also repositioning assets in the market to ensure maximum return —through extensive research, ideal resident profiling, and full oversight.
case studies
From ground-up development to full repositioning, these communities reflect what's possible when long-term thinking meets disciplined execution.
The goal was to create an exceptional community that Appalachian State University students would find appealing. Highland Crossing's unique design and proximity to campus made it an especially attractive offering. After completing in 2013, market conditions in Boone were favorable for a sale — and property is still using programs Burkely implemented.
In 2015, Burkely undertook a major renovation at Jamestown Village — a 72-unit early-70s vintage property. Burkely renovated seven buildings, successfully rezoned the property for 86 total units, and added a new clubhouse and two new residential buildings. Today, Courtyard Commons attracts residents who value community and the walkability of small-town living.
