OUR MISSION

The Szanton Company is a mission-driven developer that creates rental housing which our residents are proud to call home, and which is affordable at a variety of incomes. We do this by:

Creating comfortable, attractive apartments where housing is critically needed;

Creating amenities for our residents which enhance the quality of their lives; and

Designing energy efficiency and sustainability into our buildings, to minimize their impact on the earth’s environment.

We develop properties which provide a consistent return to their owners, ensuring stability for residents, lenders, investors, and neighborhoods.

OUR HISTORY

Founded in 1996 by Nathan Szanton, The Szanton Company started with the goal of bringing more affordable housing to New England. In 2022, we opened an office in Denver to focus on housing development in Colorado. Today that operates as an affiliate called Arrowleaf Development LLC.

Our scope ranges from adaptive repurposing of underused historic buildings to thoughtfully designed new construction.

Today, we are known for our emphasis on high-quality design, sustainability, and accountability to stakeholders.
