Apartments was founded in June 2020, born from a need for high-quality property management at a building nearing completion, developed in collaboration with a group of investors.
After an extensive and ultimately unsuccessful search for a suitable hotel operator, Patrick made a bold decision: in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, he launched his own company to take on the challenge directly. At this pivotal moment, Patrick reached out to Harold — a former colleague and trusted professional — to join him as a co-founder. Harold brought with him eight years of invaluable experience with the Marriott Group in New York, equipping him with deep expertise in hospitality operations and a strong foundation in customer service excellence.
Together, Patrick and Harold combined entrepreneurial spirit with operational know-how, laying the groundwork for what would become EXSTR Apartments. From the outset, their vision was clear: to deliver world-class guest experiences and high-performing hospitality investments.
The name EXSTR is an acronym, reflecting the company’s roots in Explorer Capital and Short Term Rentals.
Today, At EXSTR Apartments, our team of approximately 40 dedicated professionals is composed primarily of young, motivated individuals who were chosen not for their resumes, but for their positive attitude and strong work ethic. At EXSTR, we believe in potential over pedigree — valuing a willingness to learn, grow, and contribute above all else, while sharing a common mission: to create exceptional experiences for our guests while consistently delivering strong, reliable returns for our investors.
