About us

Our Beginning

Cowboy Partners was organized in 2001 in a spin-off of what had been the Prowswood organization from its parent company, Lend Lease of Australia. From the start Cowboy has been, and remains, unflinching in its commitment to the premise that our success is best ensured if we zealously pursue the best interests of our residents, our investment partners and the communities in which we develop and operate our properties.

Cowboy Partners

Widely recognized as among the premier multifamily and mixed-use developers in the West, Cowboy Partners represents the best in the creation of innovative and imaginative residential communities and mixed-use neighborhoods. As real estate has become more and more commoditized, Cowboy Partners is differentiated by its passion for innovation and devotion to details in pursuit of compelling real estate solutions. The success of Cowboy Partners is in large part a reflection of the accumulation of decades of experience focused into a teamwork-dominated culture that excels through collaboration. With its “the real estate first” focus Cowboy Partners is responsible for some of the most remarkable developments in the Mountain West.

Cowboy Properties

The mission of Cowboy Properties, which manages only Cowboy Partners developed and/or controlled properties, is to deliver on the promise of compelling places for people. It is by delivering on that promise that we best ensure that the expectations of our partners and investors are unfailingly met, or exceeded, and how we are best able to contribute to the quality of the neighborhoods and communities where we do our work. The daily application of the Cowboy Properties hierarchy of priorities creates for our team a common purpose and a common understanding of what matters most, and it all starts with Happy Residents. In “Cowboy-speak,” Happy Residents is a defined term, not something thrown around casually, but something we work and train to make happen. By being intentional about the quality of the experience our residents enjoy we create economic resilience and vitality in the investment performance of the marvelous assets in our stewardship, and that is the key concept in exceeding investors’ expectations.
