Ascent Residential

The Mission that Matters

About Us

Who We Are

Ascent Residential has been engaged in commercial real estate (CRE) investment, acquisition, financing, sales, advisory and asset management since 1993. Our team has a unique set of attributes that enable it to identify compelling investment opportunities, successfully manage the asset, and ultimately maximize values. It was built using local market knowledge and key industry relationships to identify compelling multifamily investment opportunities. Ascent Residential employs talented management teams and adds the latest industry technology to drive operating profitability on acquired properties, many of which are previously mis-managed or under-managed. Properties are often sold or refinanced as optimal conditions or better options appear.

Ascent Residential’s founding partner, John Blanchard, has over 40 years in the multi-family industry, and the company’s investment partners include high net worth individuals, family offices, and institutional investors.
