Owner/Developer
Lincoln Property Company was formed in 1965 for the purpose of developing and operating high quality residential communities. In the early 1970's, Lincoln expanded its product mix to include a full spectrum of commercial properties: suburban low rise and urban high-rise offices; industrial facilities; neighborhood shopping and specialty retail centers; major mixed-use developments with hotels; and build-to-suit properties. Lincoln developments have been widely recognized as landmarks in their communities for their design, quality, and superior locations.
Third Party Services/Brokerage
The successful completion of these diverse, nation-wide development projects required that Lincoln also develop the capabilities, systems, and organization to manage and lease one of the largest portfolios in the country. Lincoln began to gain national recognition for effective management and leasing of its own commercial real estate properties and, as a consequence, was asked to provide real estate services for other investors and owners around the country. As the 1980's ended, Lincoln responded to the fundamental restructuring of the real estate industry by fully committing to a platform emphasizing its service capabilities, systems development, and leasing teams to serve its growing list of clients and investors.
Acquistions
Over the last 20 years, Lincoln has purchased real estate in joint ventures and on behalf of pension fund clients for whom it advises through its subsidiary, Lincoln Advisors, LLC. Using its national platform and team of professionals, Lincoln has successfully completed transactions totaling well over 7 billion. Currently, Lincoln is pursuing Class A & B office and industrial buildings, in both suburban and downtown markets, with institutional and private equity partners.
