Transforming Possibilities into Creative Solutions
For over a century, Burton-Katzman has been a leading force in the national real estate industry. Founded by Barnett Burton in 1912, the company has evolved from its humble beginnings building two-story flats in Detroit into a multifaceted real estate powerhouse known for its expertise in acquisition, development, construction, and property management. Today, the Burton and Katzman families, combined with a diverse team of experienced professionals, continue to build upon their legacy of innovation and excellence, shaping the future of the real estate landscape across multiple sectors and markets.
A History of Innovation and Growth
Barnett Burton's vision of providing quality, affordable housing helped establish a foundation for success. After the Great Depression, his brothers-in-law, Lester Burton and Sydney Katzman, joined forces to expand the business, building thousands of homes throughout the Detroit suburbs. Their commitment to creativity and forward-thinking resulted in numerous industry firsts, including the development of major commercial, industrial, and master-planned communities. As the company grew, so did its reach. The Burton-Katzman legacy expanded beyond Southeastern Michigan to encompass new markets in Ohio, Florida, the Carolinas, and California.
