Investments
Our investment team applies sharp market insight, disciplined strategy, and unwavering integrity to identify and maximize exceptional office, residential, and mixed-use opportunities.
We deeply understand the markets where we operate, allowing us to uncover unique investments and drive long-term value. Our strong track record and reputation attract institutional, public, and national firms as trusted partners. As a privately owned company, we structure partnerships with flexibility to fit each opportunity. We go beyond securing great deals by actively developing and managing properties to ensure sustained success.
Development
Akridge delivers best-in-class buildings that help define their neighborhoods and provide lasting value for investors. We have extensive development experience in office, multifamily, and mixed-use markets in the DC Metropolitan area and North Carolina.
We believe local projects are best completed by local teams that can keep abreast of changing market patterns, local code and land use changes, and off-market opportunities. Our team has spent decades honing our expertise. Our vertically integrated approach ensures that we’re building the highest quality buildings that are appropriate for each project. Every one of our developments is intentionally designed to operate for the long-term and deliver value to clients and communities.
Property Management
At Akridge, we provide tailored property management services designed to enhance each building’s performance and tenant experience.
As a boutique firm, we offer hands-on expertise and personalized attention from our entire team, including senior leadership. Our deep market knowledge and owner’s perspective allow us to manage assets with precision, delivering exceptional service and long-term value.
Our in-house engineering team self-performs most preventive and corrective maintenance, reducing operating costs, improving service quality, and extending the life of building systems. Operating exclusively in Washington, DC, we understand the market’s unique dynamics and how to best serve each property and its tenants.
This high-touch, high-quality approach delivers measurable results. Kingsley Associates, the industry’s leading benchmarking firm, recently recognized our management portfolio as an 'Elite 5' recipient—ranking us among the top five office portfolios nationally. By prioritizing exceptional service, we drive tenant satisfaction, enhance retention, and optimize lease terms.
Design and Construction Management
We uphold the highest standards for ourselves, our team, and our projects. Our design and construction management team follows a rigorous design excellence program with over 500 points to guarantee quality.
We take a vertically integrated approach, applying a long-term owner’s perspective to each project. With over 50 years of experience, our hands-on team specializes in diverse projects: office and retail fit-outs, large capital improvements, building
renovations, private headquarters, secure government facilities, sports complexes, and mixed-use developments. Our institutional quality controls maximize long-term value and ensure premier quality in every project.
Leasing
With decades of experience across all types of office buildings, Akridge leasing knows how to turn opportunities into signed leases.
We craft tailored marketing strategies, identify and secure the right tenants, and execute deals with precision. We apple an owner's mindset to each property we lease and take a comprehensive approach to structuring and negotiating leases. This allows us to enhance a building's appeal, elevate the tenant experience, and drive long-term value.
Finance and Asset Management
Our asset management approach draws from our experience across our many real estate disciplines, including property management, construction management, leasing, and accounting.
This equips us to deliver more comprehensive solutions and a sharper focus on the details. When we prepare and review budgets and cash flow projects, we leverage that perspective to fine-tune our strategies and maximize each property’s value. We apply an owner's perspective to each building, with a focus on increasing its long-term value.
Owner's Representation
As investors, developers, owners and managers of commercial real estate, we believe real estate can be both high-quality and highly personal. We value the process involved in understanding every nuance of our clients' direct and indirect needs, their aspirations, and their priorities so that we can tailor our services accordingly. We offer this perspective and expertise to our third-party clients through comprehensive owner’s representation services.
Our experience spans a wide range of asset types, and our hands-on approach translates seamlessly across projects of various scales and levels of complexity. From large to small, interior build-outs to new building construction, and advisory services to asset management, we support corporate, educational, sports-affiliated, institutional, association, and nonprofit clients in delivering high quality real estate projects to meet their needs. We recognize that real estate projects may not be our clients’ primary daily function, but it is ours. We provide a full suite of integrated project functions, which include the personal, organizational, as well as the technical dimensions required for successful projects. Our goal is to simplify the process, strengthen decision-making, and create an experience that feels both expertly managed and deeply attentive.
