Our History
30 Years of Progress and Success
The history of Steadfast Companies is best described by steady development and progression into an integrated and multifaceted real estate company. Steadfast was initially founded in 1994 by Rodney F. Emery, its Chairman and CEO. The company began with the acquisition of a single multifamily apartment project in Hollywood, California, and leveraged the success of that transaction into what Steadfast has become today.
