Management
We manage all of the following four categories of property:
- Residential Properties: dwelling space such as rentals, condominiums, cooperatives, subsidized housing, etc.
- Office Properties: low-rise buildings, high-rise complexes, and office or business parks.
- Retail Properties: freestanding buildings to traditional shopping centers.
- Industrial Properties: land and facilities used in the manufacturing and the storage and shipment of goods.
We put into practice preventive maintenance compared to corrective maintenance. We try to head off potential “future” problems by anticipating needed repairs before any damage can occur.
