Our company values stay strong

Did you know? Our company has 10 Core Values we follow day in and day out.

From All Sides

Cardinal’s culture is the beating heart of our company. From the beginning, our values have fostered an environment that unites us with a sense of pride and belonging and has only strengthened over the years. As a result, we have grown, connected, and effortlessly cleared hurdles because we look at thriving as a company from a 360° perspective. When Cardinal thrives, our HQ employees thrive, which means our portfolio of properties and community managers thrive, allowing our on-site team members to thrive. And when it all adds up, our residents thrive.

Our culture has been tested time and time again in difficult situations that require tough decisions, rapid growth, and constant change. It has survived business pressures, leadership turnover, and competition for attention and priority, among other initiatives. It is paramount to the success of our business.

While the world around us continues to be in constant flux, our culture allows us to flow along with it by remaining constant for the people at the center of everything we do. With a foundation of values that has encircled us from the start, all we know how to do is thrive.
