LEARN HOW WE'VE CREATED A LASTING LEGACY

National Reputation Built On Local Community Leadership

With a legacy spanning decades, our purposeful journey continues. Since our inception in 1965, Willow Bridge (previously known as Lincoln Property Company’s residential division) has been led and operated by visionaries who have created, managed, and stewarded exceptional residential communities all across America.

Our roots took hold in the heart of Texas during a time when the industry's potential had yet to fully bloom. Now, over a half century later, Willow Bridge and our 4,500 team members have grown to be one of the largest multifamily managers in the United States, with over 180,000 units under management. Plus, we’re one of the nation’s largest multifamily developers, developing over 200,000+ units over the years, with more communities on the horizon.

As we gaze toward tomorrow, we proudly recall our origin story, with a warmth and pride that fuels our purpose — and reminds us of the extraordinary path we've traveled.

INTRODUCING WILLOW BRIDGE

Following Ontario Teachers’ Pension Plan’s purchase of the residential division of the company, we unveil a new name and brand. Today, Willow Bridge manages over 180,000 apartment units and eyes even more growth opportunities in a rapidly expanding marketplace. With $3B in investments under management and over $1B currently under development, the sky is the limit.

Following our acquisition by OTPP, Willow Bridge is no longer affiliated with Lincoln Property Company or Liberty Military Housing, which is reflected in our updated units under management of 180,000 (210,000 prior to our acquisition).
