RISE Real Estate Company

Since 1995, our company has made a name for itself as an industry leader in multi-family and student housing development, management and financing. In 1995, Ryan Holmes, RISE Chief Executive Officer, broke ground on our first student housing project in Valdosta, Georgia ($10M, 348 beds), from which our property management company was launched. Our history is abounding with intentional moves, such as our 2015 rebrand from Ambling University Development Group (AUDG), to grow RISE into the cultural pioneer of the industry that we are today.

After 20 years as AUDG, we changed our name to RISE: A Real Estate Company. This name change represents a reaffirmation of our purpose: to positively impact others. Just as important, it’s a renewal of our commitment to partners and residents alike to hold ourselves to a higher standard. What didn’t change is who we are, the way we do business, and who we do business with. We remain steadfast and sincere in our dedication to the values that lifted us to where we are today. The RISE mission is to improve lives and impact people positively – one person at a time. We believe it really is as simple as that. Numbers are what they are. We measure our true success by client satisfaction and by how we are able to improve lives in our day-to-day work.

We live out our mission through leadership training, culture programs, community service and The Perry Project. The Perry Project was established in 2014 to celebrate Charles Perry, our former managing partner. Generous donations from Charles Perry’s friends and family supported our inaugural distribution of nearly 3,000 bibles in 2015 and has grown to where we are now able to place a bible in every bed we manage and/or develop.
