Asset Living Welcomes Marti Burrows as Chief Operating Officer
In a strategic move towards enhanced operational efficiency and client satisfaction, Asset Living has appointed industry expert Marti Burrows as its new Chief Operating Officer (COO). This significant transition underlines Asset Living's commitment to fostering growth and excellence in property management as the company expands its national footprint and service offerings.
A Significant Appointment
Burrows's extensive experience in the real estate sector makes her uniquely qualified for this leadership role. She previously held the position of Managing Director and Head of Asset Management for Housing and Alternatives at Nuveen Real Estate, where she managed a portfolio exceeding $22 billion. This vast experience across multiple sectors—including multifamily, single-family rentals, manufactured housing, student housing, and self-storage—positions Burrows to drive Asset Living's operational strategies effectively.
Before her tenure at Nuveen, she was instrumental in the growth of Greystar, where she developed the firm's rental platforms and set in motion various industry-changing strategies. Her leadership at Prudential Real Estate Investors, where she managed multifamily investments, further solidifies her capabilities in the field.
Commitment to Excellence
Ryan McGrath, CEO of Asset Living, emphasized the importance of a solid operational foundation for effective property management. He noted, "Marti brings a rare perspective because she has led from both the operator's seat and the owner's seat. This dual experience will be crucial in understanding client needs and team requirements to consistently meet those expectations."
Burrows’s appointment is expected to enrich Asset Living's operating framework, aligning operations to guarantee consistent growth and superior service delivery. She will work closely with the executive team to enhance operational consistency, expand into new markets, and refine strategies for long-term success. Her leadership is seen as pivotal for advancing the company’s mission to be the most reliable partner in real estate.
A Legacy of Growth
Founded in 1986, Asset Living has rapidly evolved into one of the country’s leading property management firms, managing over 450,000 units nationwide. The company specializes in third-party management and provides diverse solutions for market-rate, student, and affordable housing communities. As it embarks on its next phase of growth, the firm remains focused on upgrading its leadership, technology, and operational structures to ensure sustainable value creation for clients, residents, and team members alike.
The appointment of Marti Burrows signals a forward-thinking approach at Asset Living, symbolizing its strategy to harness expert talent in its trajectory of growth and innovation. As she steps into her new role, Burrows is poised to make a lasting impact on the company's operational excellence and client-oriented focus.
