Bridge Investment Group Holdings Inc. (NYSE: BRDG) (“Bridge” or the “Company”) today announced Alison Brown will be joining the Company as President of Bridge Property Management and Deputy Chief Investment Officer for Bridge’s Workforce and Affordable Housing Strategy, effective July 1, 2024.

Brown brings over 25 years of real estate experience and a proven track record of building and supporting successful teams. She joins Bridge from LivCor, a Blackstone portfolio company, where she served as Senior Vice President of Operations and led the “Good Owner” program, setting national expectations for LivCor operating partners to embrace residents and local communities with integrity and service.

“Alison’s leadership in overseeing a broad array of property management partners will contribute greatly to the continual improvement of our already best-in-class in-house operating capabilities, as she brings industry-leading practices to Bridge,” said Matt DeGraw, CEO of Bridge Property Management.

Robert Morse, Executive Chairman of Bridge, added, “Alison’s deep operating expertise will further enhance Bridge’s high-touch, vertically integrated approach to our residential rental platform, which today spans nearly 60,000 units.”

“We are thrilled to welcome Alison to Bridge and as Deputy CIO of our award-winning Workforce and Affordable Housing strategy,” said Rachel Diller, Chief Investment Officer for Bridge Workforce and Affordable Housing. “Alison’s expertise in property management is a hallmark for how Bridge has sought to combine investment and operations since our founders began investing in 1991. We believe this senior-level alignment between the vision for an asset with its execution drives performance for our investors and intrinsic value to our residents.”

Brown added that “I worked with Bridge Property Management as a third-party operator for almost a decade in my prior role at LivCor and could not be more excited to join such a talented team.” She went on to say “Bridge’s Workforce and Affordable Housing strategy has been a catalyst for positive change, and I look forward to playing a key role to preserve, develop, and rehabilitate workforce and affordable housing in America.”

Bridge Workforce and Affordable Housing is dedicated to building, preserving, and rehabilitating predominantly non-government subsidized housing wherein at least 51% of residents earn below 80% of area median income (“AMI”), meeting the needs of the large and priced-out “missing middle” of U.S. renters with high-quality affordable housing and onsite social and community programming.

Bridge Property Management (“BPM”) employs approximately 1,200 people and manages approximately 60,000 multifamily units.
