March 4, 2026 – The Herrmann family has made the decision to resolve its differences and pursue independent paths. As part of that transition, David Herrmann has affirmed that Herrmann Family Companies will continue to thrive — including the continued success of Columbia Realty Limited.
Founded in 1994 under David’s leadership, Columbia Realty Limited has built a substantial and diversified portfolio of assets that started from a small capital contribution of equity. In the months after creation, Columbia Realty Limited purchased a commercial piece of real estate and shortly thereafter purchased a ranch. Since then, the company has achieved a significant increase in valuation — exceeding 4,500% total growth, or more than 150% average annual growth. Over the past three decades, Herrmann Family Companies has distributed tens of millions of dollars to family investors, reflecting disciplined asset management, strategic vision and unwavering commitment to value creation.
“I want to personally commend our team for over 30 years of outstanding execution and stewardship,” David stated. “Their dedication has not only grown the enterprise but also contributed significantly to the personal wealth and financial independence of the Herrmann family. As we look ahead, we remain deeply confident in the strength, adaptability and long-term potential of Herrmann Family Companies. We are committed to continuing its legacy of excellence — pursuing new opportunities across real estate, ranching, energy and technology in the decades to come.”
