AI Development Data Analytics Intern at BB Living in Scottsdale, AZ

BB Living Overview

BB Living (“The Company”), founded in 2012, has been at the forefront of the rapidly growing single-family “build to rent” asset class since the beginning. The Company has grown from a niche investment driven by impacts of the Great Financial Crisis to a well-capitalized, highly attractive, stabilized business with a presence in the top markets and communities across the United States and a reputation as the leader in the “build to rent” asset class.

After successfully identifying the market demand for new, three (3) and four (4) bedroom rental homes, BB Living built 1,000 homes in Metro Phoenix between 2012-2018. In late 2018 BB Living partnered with a public homebuilder to expand the “build to rent” strategy nationwide. Through this partnership, BB Living has established itself as the best-in-class “build to rent” developer and operator, the preferred rental home provider of top master planned communities and developers across the country, with a presence in the fastest growing and most desirable markets throughout the US. 

Leveraging our track record and vertically integrated team, The Company has elevated the quality of its portfolio relative to other single-family rental and “build to rent” operators. BB Living continues to grow, expanding its presence in new and existing markets through a robust acquisitions pipeline providing continued growth opportunities for The Company.
