Independence Realty Trust, Inc. (“IRT”), is a self-administered and self-managed Maryland corporation that was formed on March 26, 2009 and that has elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”). We are primarily engaged in the ownership, operation, management, improvement, and acquisition of multifamily apartment communities in non-gateway markets. As of  June 30, 2026, we owned and operated 116 multifamily apartment properties (including one owned through a consolidated joint venture) that contain an aggregate of 33,898 units across non-gateway U.S. markets, including Atlanta, Columbus, Dallas, Denver, Houston, Indianapolis, Nashville, Oklahoma City, Raleigh-Durham, and Tampa. In addition, as of  June 30, 2026, we owned one newly developed property in Austin, Texas, that is currently in lease‑up and contains 378 units. As of  June 30, 2026, we also owned interests in three unconsolidated joint ventures, one of which owns and operates a multifamily apartment community that contains 275 units and two of which are developing multifamily apartment communities that will, upon completion, contain an aggregate of 642 units. We own all of our assets and conduct substantially all of our operations through Independence Realty Operating Partnership, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (“IROP”), of which we are the sole general partner.
