Capabilities
Development
Our development efforts are led by senior executives and supported by in-house market research, financial analysis, marketing operations, and property review. We dedicate world class human and financial resources to all of our markets and opportunities, and have earned a reputation for completing successful transactions with speed and efficiency. Our complete understanding of planning, design development, pro forma and financial analysis, construction, and marketing enables us to undertake new developments and take advantage of existing opportunities.
Property Group Partners works with leading architects and designers, including Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates, Pritzker Prize-winner Kevin Roche, and David Childs of Skidmore, Owings & Merrill.
Leasing
Property Group Partners has many years of established investment between high quality tenants and brokers in our major markets. These important relationships provide us with an intuitive ability to understand our clients’ spacing requirements and allow us to structure optimum leasing deals.
Our property managers remain aware of all tenant needs as well as shifting market conditions – as they are always directly involved in the marketing and leasing of their properties.
Our firm’s experience and record of success in this area allow us to create value in not only owned and developed properties, but also to reliably assess potential new investments.
Management
Property Group Partners takes pride in managing all aspects of our property assets with the right operating controls firmly in place, including centralized cash management, lease administration, accounting, and construction supervision.
Local Management allows our firm to establish and maintain outstanding tenant relations by providing a direct relationship between tenants and landlords, which enables us to stay informed of any market shifts or tenant needs.
