[edit] History
Founded as Related Housing Companies in 1972 by Stephen M. Ross, the company began by developing government assisted housing developments. By the end of the decade more than 50 developments had been completed, worth over $250 million[1]. During the 1980s offices were opened in New York City, Miami, Chicago and California, and the company name was changed to Related due to the growth and expanded services that the company provided[2].
In the 1990s the company was re-organized into three divisions - Development, Management and Financial Services[3].
Related is a 13% stock owner of CharterMac, a multifamily finance company. In August 2007 the company announced their intention to acquire the majority controlling interest of Virgin Megastores North America.[4].
