At BRIDGE, we understand that safe, high-quality and affordable homes strengthen local communities and provide critical support and stability to the working families and seniors that live in them. BRIDGE’s portfolio currently consists of 141 multifamily and mixed-use properties with a total more than 15,000 units located throughout California, Washington & Oregon. Few housing development organizations have achieved the same level of success and stature as BRIDGE.\nBRIDGE has long been a national model for both production and innovation. For 40 years, BRIDGE professionals have pioneered sophisticated and comprehensive strategies for building local communities. BRIDGE has a unique track record of successfully developing transit oriented and mixed-use developments, as well as mixed-income apartments. This track record is what has allowed BRIDGE to establish countless partnerships that have created not only housing but new shopping centers, parks, daycare centers, police and fire facilities, libraries, community spaces and job training centers that fit comfortably into their surroundings and also act as the catalyst for revitalizing and strengthening neighborhoods.\nAt BRIDGE, our greatest asset doesn’t appear on our Balance Sheet. Our greatest asset is our team of highly skilled, energetic, and motivated professionals.

In 2025, BRIDGE Housing closed another $175 million offering of Taxable Sustainability Bonds. We have put the proceeds from these offerings to work in predevelopment, development and acquisition opportunities of multifamily housing that fit within the Sustainability Bond Framework of affordable housing, transit-oriented development, green building and energy efficiency.\nIn 2026, BRIDGE Housing's credit rating with S&P received a significant boost from AA- to AA with a stable outlook.
