History

Established in 1984 by Rip Cathcart and originally named Cathcart Properties, the company underwent a strategic rebranding in 2010, ushering in the new era of The Cathcart Group. From its early focus on acquiring small residential properties, Cathcart Properties made a significant leap in 1992 with the development of the 348-unit Lakeside Apartments, redefining luxury rentals in Charlottesville. Today, the company, comprising of Cathcart Development, Cathcart Construction, and Cathcart Property Management, boasts a portfolio of over 2,100 luxury apartment homes. With a commitment to excellence, sustainability, and community integration, Cathcart Group remains at the forefront of real estate development, shaping communities and building legacies that endure and inspire.
