A Washington owner-operator, built over sixteen years.
Veritas Equity Partners is based in Kirkland, Washington. We buy, improve, and operate workforce apartment communities, and we do it as operators, not as distant allocators.
From an eight-unit building to a firm built for partners
In 2010, Alex Burch bought his first eight-unit building with his own money. From 2010 through 2023, the portfolio grew through 1031 exchanges and refinances, without outside capital. In 2024, Veritas began investing alongside partners, using the same playbook at a larger scale.
Today we have sixteen years in Washington multifamily, about $85 million in assets under management, and 468 units acquired. We have closed 21 deals since 2010, and we have had no realized losses on any deal.
Our name is a commitment
Veritas means truthfulness. We try to make that real in how we describe a building, how we underwrite a deal, and how we report to the people who invest with us. We would rather be clear and a little plain than polished and vague.
Residents, buildings, and partners
For residents, the work is well-kept homes and responsive management for the people who keep this region running: nurses, warehouse and logistics staff, tradespeople, and military families.
For the buildings, it is capital and attention that tired or unseasoned owners often stopped providing.
For our partners, it is durable cash flow built on operations we control, not on a bet that the market will move in our favor.
Pierce and Snohomish Counties, on purpose
We buy in Pierce and Snohomish Counties and stay out of Seattle and King County. We also hold some seasoned legacy assets in Eastern Washington. The core buy box, and the reason for it, is on our Strategy page.
Principal-led, with a tight operating bench
The team is Alex Burch, Managing Partner; Lauren Rogers, Co-Founder and Principal; and Mark Burch, Internal Operations Lead. Short bios live on the Team page.
We work with a regional third-party property manager who handles day-to-day leasing and maintenance, and we keep the decisions that move net operating income in-house.
Alex and Lauren occasionally join industry podcasts and conversations about workforce housing and operating in the Pacific Northwest. A curated list is on our Media page. We do not treat those appearances as performance claims.
