OVERVIEW
Our statement embodies the core culture of Eenhoorn. People are at the heart of everything we do. Since 1988, our innovative approaches have positioned Eenhoorn as an industry leader. Our comprehensive organizational structure and cultivating learning environment empower our team members to “take ownership over their careers” and make a true difference in our residents’ lives and experiences. Our service-oriented focus and commitment to excellence is the fundamental strategy to how we do business.
Eenhoorn operates as a private, low-profile company funded with patient capital and dedicated to pursuing conservative, countercyclical investments. Rather than syndicate holdings, we invest on a long-term basis and self-manage the majority of assets. We are recognized by large institutional lenders and sellers as being innovative, capable of quickly analyzing complex financial and ownership structures, and well capitalized.
This philosophy has established Eenhoorn as the largest globally invested multifamily investor based in West Michigan.
OUR HISTORY
Eenhoorn, LLC, a privately held real estate investment and management company, was co-founded in 1988 by father and son business partners F.F. Carl Heule and Paulus C. Heule. The name Eenhoorn translates in Dutch to “unicorn” and was the maiden name of Carl’s wife and Paul’s mother, Paula Eenhoorn.
Their first acquisition, in 1988, was a 23-unit apartment building in the Heritage Hill neighborhood of Grand Rapids, Michigan. Over the next 2 decades, Eenhoorn steadily acquired numerous properties in Michigan, Indiana, Ohio, and Wisconsin. The company further expanded to California, Texas, Georgia, and Florida during this time.
During their third decade in business, Eenhoorn continued its steady growth with additional properties in Miami and Texas. In 2010, Eenhoorn expanded overseas, with its first 2 properties in the Netherlands. In 2012, Carl Heule passed away to be with his lord and Paul said goodbye to his best friend and business partner. The company, however, continued to grow, further expanding its footprint by acquiring 2 portfolios in 2016 consisting of nearly 2000 units in 13 different states.
As of 2023, Eenhoorn owns and manages over 120 different multi-family and commercial properties in the U.S. and the Netherlands. Additionally, Eenhoorn continues to expand with entitlement and development projects in the San Francisco area, Miami Beach, Texas, and the Netherlands.
Back in 1988, Carl and Paul set forth with the goal to improve the lives of others by providing excellent places to work, live, and play. Today, more than 3 decades later, this goal remains the same, continuing to inspire and inform the work we do at Eenhoorn.
