“BMC has been managing Lyon Village Apartments for over 50 years. My partners and I are at ease with the knowledge that BMC has the experience and the expertise necessary to navigate the ever-changing apartment market. They make informed, intelligent management decisions and keep our property competitive while retaining the charm and elegance of a mid-1900’s apartment community.”
“BMC acquired an aging, unanchored retail center and redeveloped the site into a sustainable, grocery-anchored center that was certified LEED-CS Gold and has exceeded all our financial projections.”
“At Lyon Village Shopping Center, BMC’s attention to creating a dynamic tenant mix has contributed to the center’s sustained high occupancy.”
“BMC’s detailed and expert advice allowed our group to acquire a well-constructed industrial property at below replacement cost while providing immediate above market returns.”
“BMC Property Group’s approach works. They listened carefully and worked diligently with our trusted advisors to craft a joint venture agreement tailored to the needs of our family ownership group. When our needs unexpectedly changed well into the pre-development phase of the project, BMC listened again and completely restructured our agreement to realign itself with our new requirements and find a creative solution to the issues that had arisen. The result was a great outcome for all parties.”
Here is a representative sampling of our commercial and industrial properties. We love a challenge and have tackled complex assignments ranging from foreclosures to estate planning to entitlements and ground up development.
