[edit] History

In 1975, Terry Considine founded The Considine Company, Inc. which owned and operated apartment communities around the United States. In 1987, The Considine Company acquired a 75% stake in Denver-based McDermott, Stein and Ira forming Property Asset Management. Along with their own properties, Property Asset Management also managed apartments for PDI, Inc., another asset management firm headed by Peter Kompaniez and Robert Lacy.

In 1994, partnering with Kompaniez and Lacy, Considine formed a Real Estate Investment Trust to merge Property Asset Management and PDI, Inc. to form the Apartment Investment and Management Company (AIMCO). AIMCO went public in July, 1994.
