PadillaCRT offers coast-to-coast capabilities with offices in Virginia, New York, California and the Washington, D.C. area. The agency was founded in Richmond, Va., as Carter Ryley Thomas Public Relations and Marketing Counsel (CRT) in March 1996, when a group of employees bought the PR operations of then top-20 advertising agency Earle Palmer Brown. The agency’s name changed to PadillaCRT after CRT acquired New York-based consumer specialist Patrice Tanaka & Company Inc. (PT&Co.). Similar to the founding of CRT, PT&Co. was founded in 1990, when the agency completed a management buyback from its parent company, ChiatDay.

As PadillaCRT has grown and flourished, we have added new capabilities to better serve the needs of our clients, including our Interactive/Social Media Practice, which offers interactive marketing and Web development services, social media and creative/graphic design expertise. PadillaCRT also owns New York-based Lewis & Neale, a wholly-owned subsidiary, which is the leading marketing communications agency exclusively devoted to food and nutrition.

Trellis Co. (formerly Community Housing Development Corporation) provides stability for people and communities as a nonprofit developer and owner of affordable housing.

Our passion is to serve as a vehicle for organizations and communities seeking to create affordable housing. We bring the expertise needed to conceptualize, create, and execute beautiful, dignified housing that provides long-term stability for people earning lower incomes.

Our 50 properties, totaling 4,500 units of housing, are primarily located in the Twin Cities, with a few in Greater Minnesota. Nearly all Trellis properties are managed by our internal property management team, ensuring that properties are sustained as long-term community assets.

Trellis Management (formerly BDC Management) provides property management services for Trellis Co. properties. Our management team understands the unique circumstances facing many of the residents we serve and works to ensure stable, sustainable housing can be achieved.

Trellis Co. was founded in 1991 on the belief that long-term nonprofit ownership is the best way to sustain high quality affordable housing. Being a trusted partner is our core commitment. Together, we can cultivate the stability that people and communities need to flourish.
