At ERC our business has been built around the simple notion that we build more than satisfactory shelter. Instead we build places people want to call home.

We believe that it’s our responsibility to be good neighbors by adding value to the communities where we invest. You will find ERC Neighborhoods in places that are thriving, growing, brimming with culture, and emerging by the minute. Speaking of culture, we are drawn to projects that virtually demand that we speak their language. We love local color and only want to turn up the volume on the diverse voices found in our neighborhoods.

Because of this, we’re constantly looking for ways to stand out as partners that thoughtfully support-and enhance-our

communities in sometimes long overlooked and often unexpected ways. We know that no one can create culture or force community. We aim to water it, feed it and help it grow.

We understand that development is a verb, not a noun. It’s an ongoing activity and not some finished destination on a map. We don’t do buildings-in-a-box or just-add-water housing. But we are always on the lookout for interesting opportunities, good ideas and likeminded folks.

Our goal is to make authentic places where real people love to live. Call it idealistic, if you want. We call it common sense. Because it works.
