The Chartered Story

A CHARTER FOR INNOVATION

Ward Ritter founded Chartered in 1986, but its roots go much deeper. Across California, Nevada, and Colorado, we have consistently set ourselves apart through our commitment to reimagining what multifamily and single-family homes and neighborhoods can be. We are never satisfied and we are always moving forward, working towards the best outcomes for all of our stakeholders. That is the Chartered way.
