There are an additional 5,000 plus new development units under contract for mid-2024 and into 2025. Weller employed 450 staff members and managed close to 20,000 units, the release states.
Together, Bryten now employs 1,150 individuals and manages nearly 47,000 units across the U.S. including Arizona, New Mexico, Tennessee, Florida, Colorado, Kentucky, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, New York, and Texas, representatives of the brand tell the Digital Free Press.
The leaders of Bryten spent over a year working on combining the best practices of each company to enrich the lives of its residents, clients and employees. “After more than a year since the merger took place, we are excited to introduce Bryten to the public,” said Libby Ekre, the founding principal MEB and now Bryten.
“Both MEB and Weller have built their reputations in multifamily management as respectable, reliable organizations that focus on people first. Our valued residents, clients and team members should expect the same, heightened level of compassion, commitment and quality of service with Bryten.”
Bryten headquarters are in Phoenix, with three additional offices in Tucson, Denver, and St. Petersburg, Florida. The Bryten leadership is comprised of founding members Scott Cook, Libby Ekre, Joe Emerson, and their president of operations, John Vranich.
