About Straten

A decade of ownership, operations, and partnership.

The Straten Group is the parent company of six verticals: hospitality, renovation and repositioning, renewable energy, construction management, syndications, and ventures. We pair owner operator discipline with a people first philosophy to build value that endures.

Our story

Together. Forward.

Straten was founded in Corona, California in 2016 on a single conviction: exceptional outcomes begin with exceptional relationships.

We relocated to Arizona in 2018 and established our headquarters in Phoenix in 2024. Over ten years, we have grown into a multi-vertical company spanning hospitality, real estate, construction, energy, and investments, with more than $500 million in assets owned, operated, and syndicated.

We operate what we own. That perspective informs every underwriting decision, every capital plan, and every conversation with a partner. We believe that when our people grow, our business grows with them.

How we operate

Four rules we do not bend.

  • We underwrite what we can operate

    If our teams cannot run it, we do not buy it. That single rule has shaped the portfolio for ten years.

  • Capital plans written years ahead

    Roofs, PIPs, and systems are budgeted long before they are urgent, so reserves are set with intent.

  • A reporting calendar, not requests

    Partners receive performance and distribution reporting on a fixed schedule without having to ask for it.

  • Long standing vendor relationships

    A decade of repeat work with the same contractors and suppliers protects pricing and lead times.

The Apex values

The standards behind how we work.

A

Accountability

We take ownership of outcomes, not just intentions. Decisions are transparent, responsibilities are clear, and results matter.

P

People First

We grow at a deliberate pace that allows our people to develop alongside the business. When our teams succeed, the company compounds.

E

Excellence

Ideas mean nothing without delivery. We prioritize disciplined action, operational rigor, and follow-through at every level.

X

X-Factor

We hire people who live their craft, bring energy to the room, and elevate those around them through passion and pride in their work.

By the numbers

Our mission is to empower.
