A typical pattern in commercial real estate is for a developer to finish a project, sell his/her interest
and move on to a new project. The new, absentee owners turn leasing and management over to an agent. If
investors and tenants are lucky, the physical building is maintained and the services that keeps such properties
desirable are available. If they aren't lucky, well....
Why should Gladstone break the pattern? Because we have a different perspective. We see land and buildings
as part of a community, and because we live and work in the community, we recognized the value of long-term
involvment with the properties we develop, lease, and manage. Our involvment takes the form of long-term
asset management following development.
Gladstone Group I, Inc. markets, develops or acquires commercial properties, principally neighborhood retail centers
and office environments.
In addition, our company offers a full range of real estate services - investment, leasing, management and sales.
Because we do, our clients benefit in several ways.
Investor clients, especially small investors, who have made a five to ten year commitment of funds to a development,
benefit from the security of our on-going management of their investment. We are as concerned, and continuing to add,
value to their asset.
Property Owner clients benefit, too. Because we specialize in properties for the smaller investors, we understand their needs.
With the 24-hour management we provide, they never have to wonder how they will get plumbing fixed or whether the facade will ever
be painted or how to keep a roof leak from damaging valuable inventory. Our ability to fill vacancies has been proven time after time.
In many situations we represent tenants and buyers looking to fulfill their real estate goals also - our market knowledge and
negotiating skills are invaluable tools benefiting these clients.
