Cortland’s team is comprised of people committed to challenging the standards of conventional apartment living. Our leaders come from a variety of backgrounds – both inside and outside the multifamily industry – as wide-ranging as retail, sports and entertainment, banking and finance, digital marketing, legal, and hospitality. By looking to best customer practices outside the traditional multifamily industry while building on a strong foundation of multifamily expertise, we aim to provide a leading apartment living experience that creates value for our residents, and in turn, our partners.
