Comstock Holding Companies®, Inc. (NASDAQ: CHCI) is a leading real estate asset manager of mixed-use and transit-oriented properties in the Washington, D.C. region. Since 1985, we have acquired, developed, operated, and sold millions of square feet of residential, commercial, and mixed-use properties.
We provide a broad suite of asset management, property management, development and construction management, and other real estate services to our asset-owning clients, composed primarily of institutional real estate investors, high net worth family offices, and governmental bodies with surplus real estate holdings.
Our fee-based, asset-light, and substantially debt-free business model allows us to mitigate many of the risks that are typically associated with real estate development. Our primary focus is the continued growth of our managed portfolio, which currently includes two of the largest transit-oriented, mixed-use developments in the Washington, D.C. area: Reston Station and Loudoun Station.
We aspire to be among the most admired real estate developers, asset managers, and operators by creating extraordinary places, providing exceptional experiences, and generating excellent results for all stakeholders.
