Vivmark Residential
Vivmark Residential is a national rental housing company created through the merger of AvalonBay and Equity Residential, operating under the tagline of setting “the mark for what home can be.” The company owns and manages more than 180,000 apartment homes across 14 U.S. states and the District of Columbia, making it one of the larger players in American multifamily housing.
The company’s rental offerings span several distinct residential brands—including Avalon, AVA, eaves by Avalon, and Kanso—each aimed at different segments of renters looking for lifestyle-focused apartment living. Alongside its residential operations, Vivmark maintains investor relations and shareholder services, reflecting its footing as a publicly traded real estate business.
Vivmark is led by President and Chief Executive Officer Benjamin Schall, supported by a senior team that includes Chief Operating Officer Michael Manelis, Chief Financial Officer Kevin O’Shea, Chief Development Officer Matthew Birenbaum, and Chief Investment and Growth Officer Sean Breslin. Its core market is individuals and families seeking quality rental apartments in major metropolitan regions throughout the country.
