Honoring our American VeteransWho We Are
LYND is a family of real estate companies which individually and through different ownership structures engages in the business of management, ownership, and development of multifamily assets.
LYND was founded in 1980 by Michael Lynd Sr. as a multifamily management business. Mr. Lynd was joined by his two sons, Michael J. Lynd Jr. and Adam David Lynd in 1995 and 1997 respectively and later joined by Samuel J. Kasparek. Together, they grew the company from 1,100 units under management to the current management portfolio encompassing approximately 35,000 multifamily units across 16 states in 50 different metropolitan areas.
As they grew, Michael. Lynd Jr., David Lynd, and Sam Kasparek diversified under different corporate structures to become a nationally-recognized investor and developer in the multifamily industry. In addition to their core business of multifamily, they have made a significant investment into the hospitality sector in co-founding BC LYND Hospitality along with partners Brandon Raney and Clyde Johnson.
