Celebrating 45 Years: Why We Chose CCMC

On June 10, 1973, the legacy of Capital Consultants Management Corporation began in Dallas, Texas. At the time, the company managed a small portfolio of apartment complexes; no one could imagine that four and a half decades later, it would serve more than 200 communities in 10 states across the country. In celebration of this milestone anniversary, we’ve asked team members and clients to share the story of why they chose CCMC – and we challenged them to do so in 45 words or less. 

Thank you for being part of the CCMC family and for making the past 45 years possible. We look forward to continuing a bright future with you by our side.
