About Fordham & Ralston

Fordham & Ralston is an Indianapolis owner-operator of historic apartment communities — eleven buildings across the Old Northside, Irvington, Mapleton-Fall Creek, Woodruff Place, and Central State neighborhoods. Formerly Indy Collective Property Group, the firm carries the same portfolio, the same local team, and a sharpened institutional identity.

We provide the best of vintage character and ‘good bones’ combined with modern amenities and design: top-notch locations around downtown, unique amenities at each property, and ground floors that host retailers, restaurants, and maker and event spaces for the benefit of the whole community.

Our buildings rose with the city — Art Deco landmarks, Victorian-era courts, and early-20th-century mid-rises — and our work is to carry them forward: preserved architecture outside, dependable modern living inside, and management that answers the phone.

Core values

We believe in our values and place them at the heart of all we do

Integrity

Doing what we say and meaning what we do. Integrity is infused in each decision we make, big and small, and is the cornerstone of everything we do at Fordham & Ralston.

Excellence

We strive to be and give our best each and every day — in our buildings, our service, and our standards.

Leadership

We believe in leading by example and integrating teamwork into everything we do. Together we thrive.

Our approach

Stewardship you can underwrite

Historic buildings stay historic when their systems are boringly reliable. Our capital standard modernizes what works hardest:

  • Envelope

    Membrane (PVC) roofing systems and vinyl windows for weather-tight, low-maintenance exteriors.

  • Mechanicals

    PEX supply plumbing, forced-air HVAC, and LED lighting throughout.

  • Interiors

    Durable flooring and counter surfaces selected for longevity and easy turns.

  • Why

    Durability, reliability, cost-effectiveness, and energy efficiency — protecting residents' homes and the asset alike.
