About Us

Family, it’s what makes a house a home.

And what makes Champion such a special company to live with. Family owned and operated since 2010, The Champion Companies owns and manages nearly 5,000 apartments in Central Ohio’s fast-growing suburbs.

Our Mission

Committed to Excellence

Our team is committed to redefining excellence in apartment living by following six core principals—Community, Service, Value, Passion, Integrity, and Teamwork. You’ll see our passion in the way you are greeted by people who love what they do. You’ll see our commitment to service in the speed at which your problems are solved. These principles guide us every day in our relentless pursuit of Champion’s mission to deliver the best living experience ever– yes, ever.

Who We Are

A Company Built on Lasting Relationships

As an eight-year veteran on the list of fastest-growing private companies in Central Ohio, we attribute our rapid growth to strong, long-lasting relationships. Our company hires smart, passionate people with the highest character and treats them like family. In turn, they treat our residents like family, which to us means genuine care and concern for your happiness. No matter how large we grow, we’ll never lose that small-company feel.

Our Values

Our Team is Committed to Redefining Excellence

  • Connecting Our
    Community

    We are committed to supporting our community by bringing together our resources, our team and our residents to give back to people in need.

  • Creating Value Is What
    We Do Best

    We seek out opportunities to create value, some that can be measured by a dollar amount and others that are measured by one’s perception.

  • Setting Ourselves Apart
    With Service

    Great service is essential in building relationships. Our goal is to go beyond residents’ expectations as we work to make their needs our first priority.

  • Having Passion For
    What We Do

    Our team members have an inner fire that excites them to come to work, and we believe this is the key to creating a positive experience.

  • Integrity
    Is Our Priority

    We believe integrity is the foundation of our actions. We are committed to treating others as we would hope to be treated–with honesty and fairness.

  • Committed To
    Teamwork

    We are committed to a teamwork environment where every person is treated with respect, encouraged to contribute and recognized and for his or her efforts.

Our Purpose

  • Enriching Communities

    Champion strives to add value to each of our apartment communities in everything we do. We add value through our astonishing customer service by providing genuine hospitality to make people feel at home.

  • Empowering People

    We hire smart, passionate people and then teach them our industry. Ability—not experience—is what matters most. We love to celebrate success, recognize hard work, and reward the extraordinary people who propel our award-winning culture.

  • Enhancing Lives

    Champion has been recognized as an industry leader, but nothing means more than our recognition for giving back to the community. Through our Champion Cares Foundation and our employee involvement, we are passionate about making life better for those in need.

Champion has won many awards over the years, but none of our accomplishments are more important than the recognition we’ve received for giving back to the community. We’ve been honored with a Pillar Award for Community Service five times and have been a 10-time recipient of Columbus Business First’s Corporate Citizenship Award.

While our team members empower our residents to give back to the community through our Round Up Your Rent Program, they are also personally involved with giving back. You’ll often find our team members helping to build a home for Habitat for Humanity or serving meals at the YWCA Family Center – these are just a couple ways our team dedicates their own time and money to support our causes. We are all united under a larger purpose: enriching communities, empowering people, and enhancing lives.

Providing a home for thousands of people is a responsibility we don’t take lightly. We are always refining our process, looking for ways to make our rental and living experience better. We invite you to visit in person to see for yourself. We hope you’ll join our family and make a Champion community your home.
