Alliance Residential Company is proud to announce the promotion of Andrew Howe to Managing Director of the Mid-Atlantic region. With a sharp focus on Charlotte, Raleigh/Durham, and Charleston, South Carolina, Howe steps into this role bringing deep market knowledge and a proven track record — having joined Alliance in 2018 and most recently serving as Development Director. His promotion is a reflection of our commitment to building best-in-class leadership across our fastest-growing markets.

“In this role, with how Alliance is set up, it’s almost like you’re the CEO of your own business,” he said. “My job here is going out to source development sites through land brokers, getting them under contract, due diligence work, getting the lender on board — basically the full entitlement process.”

Howe said he plans to continue on the same growth path as his predecessor, keeping Charlotte in the forefront. He replaces Donald Santos, who was promoted as Alliance’s new Senior Managing Director for Southeast and the Mid-Atlantic regions.

“Charlotte is our backyard, so I don’t ever want to miss out on an opportunity here,” Howe said. “We’ve done a really good job since putting a flag in the ground in 2016 and have a dominant market share here and in the Carolinas.”

Howe’s promotion was one of four that also included Santos, Carter Brehm as Managing Director of the Georgia region and Stephen Keller as Managing Director of the Tennessee region.

“Our strategic plan is to continue to expand our opportunities on the East Coast. These promotions reflect our commitment to that strategy and allow us to have greater market coverage and presence in key East Coast markets,” said Jay Hiemenz, chairman and CEO of Alliance. “As we continue to scale in the East, these leaders will be instrumental in driving growth and ensuring our development projects remain best-in-class.”

Residential. “Alliance currently has roughly 75 projects under construction and lease up nationally, and
another 55 projects in development.”

The past few years have been challenging as deliveries were at record highs, but the developer will

director of the Southwest market for Alliance Residential.

“We are actively engaged on multiple land sites in submarkets that continue to experience strong
resident absorption and income growth,” Swiergol said. “We are looking around the entire Valley but are
currently focused on sites in the north Phoenix and southeast Valley/Tempe submarkets.”

PHOENIX, A.Z. (November 5, 2025) – Alliance Residential Company, one of the largest residential rental development companies in the nation, is proud to celebrate its 25th anniversary, marking a quarter-century of entrepreneurial vision, innovation, and community-building.

With its principals’ roots stretching back to the early 1990s, Alliance officially commenced in September 2000 with initial offices in Phoenix and Houston. This founding was driven by the belief that great places to live begin with great people leading the way. That founding spirit – visionary, bold, and people-first – remains central to Alliance today.

Over the past 25 years, Alliance has produced more than 136,000 units representing over $27 billion in invested capital. Alliance has developed brands to address a wide consumer renter profile, including luxury, workforce, and seniors. Since 2014, Alliance has been named the No. 1 developer six times on the National Multifamily Housing Council (NMHC)/ Multi-Housing Executive (MFE) top developers list. Headquartered in Scottsdale, Arizona, Alliance has 16 regional offices nationwide.

“Twenty-five years ago, we set out to build communities where people truly want to live,” said Jay Hiemenz, Chairman and CEO of Alliance. “We’ve always aimed to develop communities that are thoughtful, future-forward, and deeply connected to the needs of current and future residents.”

Alliance’s legacy is defined by a series of strategic innovations and expansions:

• In 2001, the Broadstone brand was born, a brand that defined luxury multifamily projects with class leading amenities and features.
• In 2006, Alliance reached the #2 position on the NMHC/ MFE Top Developers list, and by 2014, Alliance first reached the #1 position on the NMHC/ MFE Top Developers list, that it “three-peated” in 2014, 2015, and 2016.
• In 2015, Alliance entered the senior housing segment with the launch of Holden Senior Living, offering active adult, independent living, assisted living, and memory care options.
• In 2018, Alliance introduced its Prose brand, focused on attainable workforce housing, addressing the rising demand for high-quality, affordable living solutions.
• In 2024, Daiwa House Group, a leading international construction and real estate company headquartered in Japan, made an investment in Alliance; its first and exclusive U.S. residential rental platform investment.

Alliance has also led the way in smart home technology, partnering with leading tech companies to incorporate smart home features like remote access, programmable thermostats, and energy-efficient lighting – prioritizing cost savings, sustainability, and convenience.

Alliance has continued to adapt to renters’ changing lifestyles. Properties feature amenities such as wellness-focused fitness amenities promoting healthy living, pet-friendly spaces like dog parks and grooming stations, thoughtfully designed co-working lounges with private meeting rooms for remote and hybrid professionals, and EV charging stations supporting sustainable transportation.

“The real estate industry speaks of assets and returns, but to produce such returns, we’ve felt the key is to ask the questions: who are we building for and what do people actually need from their homes today?” continued Hiemenz. “From attainable housing at lower price points to smart technology that simplifies daily life to spaces that support wellness and remote work, we’re constantly evolving because the way people live is constantly evolving. We listen to the customer needs and design for the target customer.”
