Dive Insight:
With Burton onboard, AOG is moving squarely into growth mode, including by looking at product types outside of multifamily, CEO Ricardo Rivas told Multifamily Dive in emailed comments.
“We are looking to expand our portfolio through strategic acquisitions as well as adding new development opportunities to our pipeline,” Rivas said.
The firm currently has 30,000 units under management, owning approximately 2,800 in different stages of the development cycle.
“With Kristin’s background in capital raising and structuring, coupled with AOG’s strong track record and vertically integrated platform, the company is looking to grow in current markets as well as new geographies in which we have a management footprint through both acquisitions and developments,” Rivas said.
Burton began her career at Washington Mutual, which was later acquired by JP Morgan, where she served as a commercial real estate analyst. Ultimately, she became a client executive working with Houston-based real estate clients.
She joined Greystar in 2015, initially supporting European finance efforts before transitioning to the North American direct business, serving as managing director of finance through 2025. Burton served on the National Multifamily Housing Council Finance Board in 2024 and 2025.
“Her 10 years in banking coupled with 10 years in capital markets at a leading multifamily firm provide a wealth of knowledge to facilitate growth alongside the leaders at AOG,” Rivas said. “She has experience in both debt and equity, as well as structuring complex transactions that will allow AOG to further expand its existing capital network.”
