Since its founding in the 1970s by Richard Felker, the firm has expanded from Milwaukee to the western United States and now operates as a prominent player in Class A+ urban mixed-use high-rise developments and build-for-rent single-family homes.

The Empire Group targets markets seeking high-quality urban and suburban living environments, delivering projects that function as extended, self-contained communities within city settings.
