Company

ERC is a third-generation development firm that draws on more than five decades of experience in creating great communities. Our innovative solutions and rock-solid execution efficiently address today’s challenges while building for a bright future. Our core businesses are creating neighborhoods, constructing apartment homes, and asset management of our apartment portfolio. From concept to finish to ongoing operations, ERC brings a history of integrity and a track record of excellence to every project we embrace.

Values

Our values at ERC are also our traditions. For three generations, we’ve operated with a commitment to faith, integrity, passion, and family.

Our commitment to faith shapes the beliefs that define our ethics; it provides the foundation upon which our company is and will be built on for generations to come.

Our commitment to integrity refers to honesty and also as visual of structural strength; ERC considers both of equal value in our internal perception of our performance and in our relationships with those we do business with.

Our commitment to passion reflects a call to action that’s driven by something of great value in the lives of each individual at ERC. Passion is key in the manner in which we conduct ourselves— through the work we do day-in and day-out and the activities we rely on to keep us balanced outside the office.

Our commitment to family is key to our successes in life and business. Family provides the support systems at home, in addition to those individuals who have grown in the workplace and become more than just friends or acquaintances. This is a cornerstone and foundation to those who work at ERC and is certainly something that we have taken great pride in for three generations.

History

Ernest R. "Buddy" Coleman founded ERC in 1957, and he not only set the foundation for the work we do but, more important, for how we go about doing it. With a family-oriented culture that's rare in the corporate landscape, ERC remains true to Buddy’s founding principles of integrity and excellence for building communities.

ERC’s reach extends across Arkansas and into several bordering states. Our partners are experienced in planning and design, project management, project financing, construction, and asset management. We take development projects from concept to finish to the future.

Real excellence lives.

Raising Standards. Creating Excellence.

Excellence is more than a finished product—it is an ongoing commitment. We all see excellence in the end result of something great and beautiful, but it’s the story— the passion, the concept, the planning, the execution, the continual process that keeps it alive—that brings the seed of potential to its fullest fruition. This is where excellence becomes a process, and this is how ERC lives out its story. ERC brings more than 30 years of experience in living out excellence, driving up standards at every level to exceed expectations—raising the standard for excellence.

Building strong relationships is the first part of building anything of value.

The roots of trust and integrity produce the fruits of future success.

ERC takes projects from concept to finish to the future.

Great communities don’t just happen; they develop from a vision and a commitment to excellence.

Great communities set people free to live inspired. And inspired people change the world for the better.

Excellence never crosses the finish line. It’s a process that continually presses forward.

When your vision outpaces capacity — you need help from experts you can trust.

Land Development

Raising Standards. Creating Excellence.

Every community has a story that reflects a vision and creates a sense of place. Comprehensive, dynamic visions, produce dynamic communities with inspiring stories.

ERC specializes in site selection and development for visionaries who help create communities—whether exclusively single-family or master planned—for people who never settle for living their stories in the land of bland. We understand how to leverage a site’s natural surroundings and its historic and cultural significance, as well as how innovative building and development techniques work together with architectural distinction to create a sense of community and place.

As an experienced full-service developer, ERC provides expertise in all phases of a project, from selecting the site to working through city ordinances, codes, and standards, to financing and asset management.

Asset Management

Raising Standards. Creating Excellence.

There’s a moment of satisfaction in the life of any project when the team behind it steps back and says, “It’s finished!” ERC celebrates such moments all the time, but we also understand that real excellence is a process and commitment that never ends.

ERC owns and manages a complete apartment portfolio in excess of 4300 units., so we understand the long-term needs of our clients who end up managing properties. We bring 20-plus years experience in asset management. We are experienced in the financing of multifamily housing through HUD, TC and conventional markets. And we have a proven record for managing properties in ways the keep occupancy rates high, exceed the needed levels of rent revenues, and create long-term stability and value.

Construction

Raising Standards. Creating Excellence.

The greatest ideas seldom start small, much less stay small. So what happens when your vision outpaces your capacity? ERC builds trusted relationships with individual developers and contractors who are committed to excellence but who need help from a reliable, bondable construction firm with experience in large-scale projects.

ERC has partnered in the construction of apartment complexes and hotels. Our construction portfolio includes more than 25,000 apartment units and a history of success on multi-million-dollar projects. We recognize the importance of on-time delivery, value engineering and precise estimates. And our experience as owners and managers of properties allows us to see a more full picture of the project. We appreciate what it takes to own and operate buildings after a contractor has moved off-site. So ERC sets up every project for sustained excellence.
