After a year of internal planning, reorganizing and integrating, MEB Management Services, a Phoenix-based multifamily management company servicing the Southwest, and Weller Management, a third-party property management and consulting company based in St. Petersburg, Florida serving the Southeast, officially merged to become Bryten Real Estate Partners creating a nationally recognized management company.
Prior to the merger, MEB Management Services employed 700 staff members and managed over 27,000 units throughout the Southwest. Of that total, more than 4,200 units are new developments that will open by mid-2024. 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 leaders of Bryten spent over a year working on combining the best practices of each company. 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.
“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 of 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’s headquarters is located in Phoenix, with three additional offices in Tucson, Arizona, Denver, Colorado, and St. Petersburg, Florida. Its portfolio includes mid-rise, garden style, build-to-rent, luxury communities, new developments, student living, eco-sustainable living and attainable housing. In addition to property management, Bryten also offers due diligence, advisory capacity construction management, asset repositioning and cutting-edge technology.
