About The Kolter Group

The Kolter Group is a diversified real estate development and investment firm that has invested in projects with expected value in excess of $30 billion. Headquartered in Palm Beach County, Florida, the company is among the most experienced real estate investors in the Southeast, having executed investments across major asset classes and all stages of the development cycle. Our portfolio of complementary businesses drives an entrepreneurial culture and allows us to adapt to change and choose investments on a selective basis.

HISTORY

In the spring of 1997, Bobby Julien partnered with an investor to form Kolter Property Company with the goal of developing residential and commercial properties in North America. Within a year, Kolter Homes was formed and began construction of its first single family home at PGA Village on Florida’s Treasure Coast as well as its first condominium project, The Water Club, on Longboat Key. During the same period, Kolter purchased land to develop South Creek, a one million square foot six building commercial office park in Markham Ontario.

In 2007, Kolter formed a land development division, Kolter Land, which develops finished lots for national and large regional home builders.

In 2008, Kolter expanded into the hospitality space and established Kolter Hospitality which focuses on developing and managing hotels.

In 2021, Kolter formalized its commitment to the multifamily business with the formation of a new Kolter Multifamily division.

After 25 years, The Kolter Group has become a diversified real estate investment and development company that operates through five strategic divisions in the southeastern United States. The company has created award winning master planned communities, luxury high-rise condominiums, multi-family apartments and branded hotels.

THE KOLTER GROUP TEAM

The Kolter Group has a team of proven professionals with institutional credibility and aligned goals to carry out the firm’s mission. The leadership team and portfolio company presidents possess over 290 years of cumulative real estate experience.
