Denver, Co - Jan. 19, 2022 – Sturm Group and Realty Management Group, Don Sturm’s family office, investment management and professional services firms, announced today that they have rebranded around the new name Alder. This change repositions their wide range of capabilities into three branches – Alder Companies, Alder Ventures and Alder Real Estate. Built upon a combined three-decade history of success and integrity, the rebranding establishes a foundation for future growth through a focus on cultivating thoughtfully designed investments that generate meaningful returns and long term value for its companies, colleagues and communities.
Alder Companies, led by members of the Sturm Family, is a multi-faceted family office that manages and supports multiple business lines, primarily Alder Ventures and Alder Real Estate. Formerly known as Sturm Group, Alder Companies provides professional services including accounting, legal and executive leadership functions to its founders, their partners and closely held businesses.
Alder Ventures is the investment division of Alder Companies. Under the vision and direction of CIO Bryan Ritz, Alder Ventures strives to achieve superior risk-adjusted results through thematic investing across a diverse opportunity set that spans asset classes and the public and private markets. Anchored with significant committed capital, Alder Ventures is able to weather short-term volatility to preserve and grow long-term assets.
Alder Real Estate is the new name of Realty Management Group (RMG). The Alder Real Estate group, led by President Stephanie McCandless, combines the RMG and Castle Rock Development Company (CRDC) teams known for successful development projects like The Meadows at Historic Castle Rock, Kings Point in Aurora, the redevelopment of several blocks in Cherry Creek North, and the ANB Bank buildout in the Denver Tech Center. Alder Real Estate provides a full suite of services including acquisition, development, redevelopment, management, and disposition of properties across various asset types in Colorado and the Rocky Mountain West.
“We have embraced this opportunity to introduce a name that better reflects our unique history and value proposition and reintroduce a company with over 30 years of combined experience across real estate and investment management,” said Stephen Sturm, CEO Alder Companies. “We cultivate thoughtfully designed investments that generate meaningful returns and long term value. For us, success is measured not just by the value gained, but by the value created through investments. We strive to enhance our companies, colleagues and communities in which we operate.”
