VILLAGE GREEN VOICE

illage Green marks our 90th anniversary this year. Over the past nine decades we
have seen several cycles of the real estate business and through them all, have
come out stronger.
Looking back over the years, there has been quite an evolution – both with our company and the
industry. My grandfather, Joseph Holtzman first began the company with his partner, Irwin Silverman, as
a single-family homebuilder. Then, over the generations, it expanded to include single-family homes and
a variety of other investments, including condominiums, apartments, shopping centers and office and
industrial real estate.
In the past 30 years, we named the apartment division Village Green and have focused only developing
and managing apartment communities. We now operate in 12 states and have become one of the
nation’s largest privately owned developers, builders,
managers and owners of luxury rental communities.
While housing trends and needs have seen and continue to
see dramatic changes, the core values of customer service,
quality product and exemplary leadership keep Village Green
at the forefront of the apartment industry. Our focus is simple:
we provide a lifestyle for rent. Our concentration on providing
excellence in multifamily housing has enabled us to refine our
strengths and capitalize on 90 years of quality products,
services, benefits and relationships.
Over the past year, we have expanded on our green initiatives
and increased our focus on operating as a hospitality
company to reinforce the service we look to continue to
provide to our partners, owners we represent and residents.
Since 1919, Village Green has led the way in setting new
standards and we will carry that tradition through 2009 and
the years to come.
