This year marks a significant milestone for the U.L. Coleman Companies as we celebrate our 50th anniversary. Founded in August 1973 by President U.L. Coleman III, our journey from a fledgling enterprise to a renowned multifamily property management and real estate company has been marked by dedication, innovation, and a commitment to excellence.
Over the past five decades, U.L. Coleman Companies has grown and evolved, achieving numerous milestones that have shaped our legacy. From managing our first property to expanding our portfolio to include some of the most sought-after apartment communities, our journey has been nothing short of remarkable. Our commitment to quality and customer satisfaction has been the cornerstone of our success, enabling us to build strong, lasting relationships with our partners and associates.
This golden year has been a whirlwind of celebrations, starting with the ribbon-cutting ceremony for [Fern Crossing at Bayou Pierre](https://www.ferncrossing.com) in April 2024. This transformation project, converting the old Haystack apartments into a modern, vibrant community, is a testament to our continued dedication to providing exceptional living spaces that cater to the needs of our communities. The event was a momentous occasion, symbolizing our ongoing commitment to growth and innovation.
The pinnacle of our 50th-anniversary celebrations was undoubtedly the “A Night with U.L. Coleman” event at [Coates Bluff at Wright Island](https://coatesbluff.com/). This special evening brought together associates and partners to reflect on our shared successes and envision the future. The event was a heartfelt tribute to the hard work and dedication of everyone who has been part of the U.L. Coleman family over the years.
As we look back on our journey, we are filled with gratitude for the support and trust of our partners and associates. Their unwavering belief in our vision has been instrumental in our success. As we move forward, we remain committed to upholding the values that have defined us for the past 50 years and to continuing our legacy of excellence in the multifamily property management and real estate industry.
Here’s to the next 50 years of growth, innovation, and success. Thank you for being a part of our journey.
