01Overview

AMLI Residential is a Chicago-based apartment developer, owner and manager. Two Chicago lawyers, Greg Mutz and John Allen, founded it in 1980 as AMLI Realty Co. It builds and runs Class A and luxury apartment communities, including high-rises, in a small number of large US metros. The company says it owns and manages all of its communities.

Our count from public property records, HUD and the firm's own site; a listing alone never counts.

AMLI focuses on newer, high-end rental communities in urban and suburban locations. In Dallas-Fort Worth it has communities in Addison, Las Colinas and Frisco, among others. It is also building AMLI Treehouse, a mixed-use community in Addison with apartments, rental townhomes and for-sale townhomes. Portfolio figures on this page come from our own records.

AMLI's portfolio is mainly market-rate. The exception we found is in Austin, where its Mueller communities set aside income-restricted apartments under the Mueller Affordable Housing Program, with incomes checked by a local agency working with the City of Austin. We found no LIHTC, HUD Section 8 or housing authority work and no dedicated affordable housing division.

Our summary

We found no public fair housing actions, regulatory penalties, data breaches, bankruptcies or Texas WARN layoff notices involving AMLI.

In early 2023, AMLI Management Company was named as a defendant in several renter class actions alleging that landlords used RealPage software to coordinate rents. Those cases were consolidated in federal court in Tennessee. AMLI is not on class counsel's current defendant list, and it does not appear among the settling defendants. We did not find how or when it left the case. The claims against it were allegations and were not decided.

In 2022, a Harris County, Texas jury rejected fraud and contract claims brought against AMLI by the buyer of a Houston apartment complex it sold in 2012, and ordered the buyer to pay AMLI's legal fees. In 2020, a former employee sued AMLI's management company in California over his termination; we did not find how that case ended.

This reflects what public searches turned up as of September 2026. It is not a full legal or court records review.

About the leadership

In January 2026, AMLI changed its CEO for the first time since its founding. Fred Schreiber became President and CEO. He joined in 2007 from the law firm Weil, Gotshal & Manges and was previously Executive Vice President and COO. Taylor Bowen became CEO of AMLI Development Company, the building arm. Bowen joined AMLI in 1997 and led its Texas development work from 2000 to 2017.

Maria Banks leads AMLI Management Company, the operating arm that runs the communities. She joined AMLI in 2005 after audit and finance roles at Deloitte, SBC Communications and Arthur Andersen, and took the top job at the management company in 2016.

Co-founder Gregory Mutz stayed on as chairman; between 1998 and 2003 he also ran UICI, then AMLI's parent. Former president Philip Tague, with AMLI since 1981 and earlier a lawyer at Mayer, Brown, became vice chairman. Press reports say the succession plan had been in place for about three years.

The wider executive team includes James McCormick as Chief Investment Officer, who joined in 2006 after investment banking and private equity work, including at Hall Capital Partners. Stephan Maritz, the CFO, joined in 2013; public profiles show earlier finance roles at Heitman, LaSalle Investment Management and Molex. Ken Veltri runs asset management (joined 2005). Amanda Johnson, with AMLI since 2012 by a public profile, leads marketing and consumer experience after a prior role at Neptune Retail Solutions. Jason Knutsen, Chief Information Officer, joined in 2014 from Stericycle Communication Solutions. Ron Burkhardt, Vice President of Strategic Property Initiatives, started at AMLI in 2006 as a leasing consultant and has spoken publicly about its move to centralized resident services. Much of the senior team has been with AMLI for more than a decade, several for close to twenty years or more.

In Dallas-Fort Worth, public profiles show development staff based in the region. On the operations side, regional vice president Matt Jones works from AMLI's Addison office. A 2019 conference bio says he had by then run several other AMLI markets, including Austin, Kansas, Indianapolis, New Jersey and Southern California. He is a past president of the Apartment Association of Greater Dallas and an officer of the Texas Apartment Association. We did not find a business development contact for outside owners.

07Performance and fees

What they report, and what they charge.partial

Private managers rarely publish results. Figures the firm reports about itself are marked "firm claim"; ask for audited numbers before you sign.

  • Occupancyold (as of 2004-12-31, firm claim): 91.3% physical occupancy at stabilized wholly-owned communities and 93.7% at stabilized co-investment communities, per AMLI's last annual report as a public REIT[45]
  • Rent growthold (as of 2005-09-30, firm claim): Same-community weighted average collected revenue per occupied unit up 0.5% in Q3 2005 versus Q3 2004, with total same-community revenue up 1.6%, per AMLI's last quarterly results as a public REIT[54][55]
  • NOIold (as of 2005-09-30, firm claim): Same-community net operating income down 0.5% in Q3 2005 versus Q3 2004[54][55]
  • Expense controlold (as of 2005-09-30, firm claim): Same-community operating expenses up 4.6% in Q3 2005 versus Q3 2004, which AMLI said partly reflected quarterly timing differences[54][55]
  • CapExold (as of 2005-09-30, firm claim): Recurring capital expenditures deducted from funds from operations: about $5.3 million on wholly-owned communities plus a $1.0 million share at partnership communities in 2004, and about $3.8 million and $0.8 million in the first nine months of 2005, per AMLI's last supplemental report as a public REIT[55]

  • Tour24 self-guided touring across the portfolio. In January 2023 Tour24 announced it had been chosen as AMLI's self-guided tour partner, to be deployed across all AMLI communities in nine cities. AMLI's marketing head was quoted on renters wanting to tour without waiting.[36]
  • Planera construction scheduling pilot. AMLI's development arm piloted Planera cloud scheduling on a Littleton, Colorado development in early 2025, replacing Microsoft Project, and said it planned to phase out MS Project company-wide.[37]
  • Comelit access control at a Brookhaven, Georgia community. AMLI installed Comelit entry panels and a resident app with a one-time license at a large community at 1400 Lake Hearn Dr NE in Brookhaven, integrated with its other access control and operations systems, installed in March 2025.[38]
  • Coupa procurement rollout. In July 2025 Coupa announced that AMLI had moved its sourcing, purchasing, supplier management, on-site purchasing workflows and appliance and inventory tracking from a legacy system to Coupa, going live in May 2024. AMLI's Vice President of Procurement was quoted on ease of use. No savings figures were given.[59]
Our notes on performance and fees

AMLI is privately held within a Morgan Stanley fund and does not publish current property-level performance. We found no public data on its occupancy, rent growth, operating income, expenses, collections, resident retention, turn times or capital spending since it went private in 2006.

The only portfolio figures we found come from its last filings as a public REIT. Its 2004 annual report gave physical occupancy separately for wholly-owned and co-investment communities. Its third quarter 2005 results, the last before the buyout closed, reported same-community revenue per occupied unit, operating expenses and net operating income against a year earlier. In that quarter expenses grew faster than revenue, so operating income dipped slightly. The same report listed recurring capital spending on its wholly-owned and partnership communities for 2004 and the first nine months of 2005, without per-unit figures. These figures are shown above as the company's own reports. They are historical and say little about the company today.

We checked its REIT annual reports from 1997, 2003 and 2004 and its final quarterly release, and found no figures on rent collections, bad debt, resident retention or unit turn times. Those reports only said AMLI guaranteed attention to any maintenance request within 48 hours. More recently, AMLI has described moving administrative work and application screening to a centralized resident services team, but it gave no results from that change.

AMLI manages its own communities and does not publish fees for outside owners. The only fee terms we found are historical. In its 2004 annual report, AMLI said its management company charged a flat share of gross revenue on wholly-owned communities and a somewhat higher share on communities owned with institutional partners, who also paid asset management, development and transaction fees. Current terms, if any, should be confirmed with AMLI directly.

Our notes on technology

AMLI's resident and applicant portals sit on residentportal.com and prospectportal.com, domains used by Entrata's resident and leasing products. AMLI job postings for on-site staff in Addison, Texas also ask for Entrata experience. Together these point to Entrata as its property management system.

Renter lawsuits filed in 2023 named AMLI's management company among landlords alleged to have used RealPage revenue management software. We found no statement from AMLI confirming which pricing tool it uses today. A corporate job posting names Vena as its budgeting and forecasting software.

For its leasing CRM, the evidence points to Funnel, though neither AMLI nor Funnel has announced the relationship. An AMLI vice president spoke about the company's centralized resident services at Funnel's 2024 user conference. In a podcast published on Funnel's site in December 2025, the host, speaking to Funnel's CEO, called AMLI one of Funnel's clients. AMLI job postings mention a leasing CRM but do not name it.

Since 2023, AMLI has used Tour24 for self-guided apartment tours across its communities. It has worked with Engrain since 2019. In March 2025 it rolled out Engrain's full suite across its portfolio: interactive site maps with live availability and pricing, a touchscreen touring tool for leasing staff, and a plug-in that feeds property data into Microsoft Power BI. In May 2024 it moved its purchasing and supplier management to Coupa, a spend platform sold on AI-driven automation. Vendor case studies also show Planera for construction scheduling, Comelit for building entry at one Georgia community and Luxer One package rooms.

We found no AI leasing assistant at its communities. Beyond the Engrain data feeds, we found nothing on open APIs or AMLI's own software.

AMLI's portfolio has been broadly steady since the 2006 buyout. It keeps developing new communities, buying some and selling older ones. In DFW, it sold AMLI Design District in October 2023 and broke ground on AMLI Treehouse in Addison the same year. In February 2024 it more than doubled its Dallas regional office in Addison's Liberty Plaza.

Outside Texas, AMLI bought the Milieu tower in Chicago's West Loop in December 2025 and sold AMLI Deerfield in suburban Chicago in September 2026. A third-party workforce estimate shows headcount drifting slightly lower since 2023.

  • 2005-10 · acquisition agreementMorgan Stanley's Prime Property Fund agreed to buy all AMLI common shares for $37.75 per share in cash, about $2.1 billion including debt and preferred securities.[17][18]
  • 1994 · ipoAMLI went public as AMLI Residential Properties Trust.[14]

AMLI went public in 1994 as AMLI Residential Properties Trust. In October 2005, Morgan Stanley's Prime Property Fund agreed to buy the company for about $2.1 billion including debt. The deal closed in February 2006, and AMLI has been a private subsidiary of the fund since then. Before the buyout, AMLI also acted as advisor and asset manager for pension funds and other institutions through a co-investment business.

Today AMLI develops, builds and manages the communities it owns for the fund. Its chairman has publicly put an estimated value on the portfolio, shown above as the company's own figure. We found no public evidence that it takes third-party management contracts from outside owners. Owners seeking a fee manager should confirm this directly.
