About Us
The Walton Group of Companies (Walton) is a group of asset management and real estate companies concentrating on the acquisition, planning and management of strategically-located land in North America. Walton is a privately owned group of companies founded in Calgary, Alberta in 1979.
Walton’s vision is to enable investors to participate in investments in pre-development lands in the path of major urban growth. Walton’s current staff has extensive experience with the evaluation, acquisition and disposition of real estate properties, the operation and management of land, land entitlement and rezoning, the marketing of real estate, and real estate administration.
Walton currently manages over $28億 in assets, including over 62,000 acres* of land across North America, and Walton affiliates have managed privately offered real estate programs involving North American lands for over 75,000 investors worldwide. Walton International Group (USA), Inc. is headquartered in Scottsdale, Arizona.
The economic environment as a result of the housing-led recession in the United States has created a tremendous opportunity for the Walton. As a buyer in a down market, Walton has a distinct advantage over its leveraged competitors that are being forced to liquidate their good assets at reduced prices.
Walton is currently in the process of executing an acquisition strategy in certain strategic growth sub-markets. Walton intends to be well-positioned alongside its investors through ownership of strategically located lands in these areas in order to benefit when the economy regains its strength and development resumes.
