This union has created a significant player in the U.S. market, boasting a portfolio of nearly 47,000 units and a team of 1,150 professionals across multiple states.

Prior to the merger, MEB Management Services was a prominent force in the Southwest, managing over 27,000 units with a 700-strong team. Their portfolio included a robust pipeline of new developments, with over 4,200 units slated to open by mid-2024 and an additional 5,000 units under contract for future development. Weller Management, on the other hand, brought to the table a team of 450 and a portfolio of approximately 20,000 units.
The leadership of Bryten Real Estate Partners dedicated over a year to meticulously integrate the best operational practices from both MEB and Weller. This thoughtful approach aims to enhance the experience for residents, clients, and employees alike. Libby Ekre, formerly a founding principal at MEB and now with Bryten, expressed enthusiasm about the public launch of the new brand. She emphasized the shared values of MEB and Weller, built on reputations of respect and reliability with a “people-first” approach. Bryten is committed to upholding and elevating this standard of compassion, commitment, and service quality.
