The results are in – Redwood has been named a 2024 NAA Top Employer by the National Apartment Association, adding to its list of national accolades that recognize outstanding company culture.

NAA’s Top Employers Awards pay tribute to management companies and suppliers from across the rental housing industry that have exceeded expectations in creating a culture that emphasizes growth and contribution. These member organizations go above and beyond to foster environments of collaboration, innovation, and hard work.

The awards are divided into four categories, one for suppliers and three for management companies. Employees and their satisfaction, measured through an anonymous survey, determine the award winners and finalists in each of the categories. The survey results are provided to all nominees to help organizations better understand and recognize employee sentiment.

“This award represents a new honor for our team, and we are especially gratified to be recognized within our industry for the exceptional work environment we have collectively achieved at Redwood,” said Steve Kimmelman, founder and CEO at Redwood. “When employees are prioritized and find meaning in their roles, then residents are happy, neighborhoods thrive, and we can continue to operate at the highest possible level as Redwood grows.”

For years, Redwood has been continually recognized for excellence by various national and regional organizations, particularly in the category of company culture. Redwood’s 600+ employees span nine states. The team has developed 18,000+ single-story apartment homes and manages 150 neighborhoods throughout the Midwest and Carolinas.

“Congratulations to Redwood for going above and beyond to cultivate an exceptional workplace environment that values engagement and learning,” said NAA president and CEO Bob Pinnegar. “Their employees made it clear that as we navigate evolving challenges, Redwood understands that the most valuable thing a company can do is invest in its workforce.”

Redwood’s commitment to its employee experience is one of the reasons it consistently hires top talent that provides an elevated experience to current and prospective residents. As Redwood grows, that top talent drives leasing at new and existing neighborhoods, proving the relationship between top employees and high levels of leasing success.
