Creating enduring, livable communities.

STRIDE Properties has the experience and capability to provide professional services in all areas of the development process. We understand that each investment property or development project is different and unique with some having special characteristics that may limit maximum functionality, such as setbacks and height restrictions. We can help properly utilize these potential challenges and guide you through the development approval process, enhancing the value of your investment.

For any one project, we can coordinate over 10 different consultants including landscape architects, municipal planners, engineers, and architects/building designers.  To ensure a smooth process, your project must be managed correctly in order to minimize potential risks. By selecting a competent project manager and utilizing expert consultants, you can save money and minimize unwanted issues throughout your property development process.

Call us for a complimentary initial consultation where we will discuss and understand what your property development plans are, and what you aim to achieve. Our Project Management fees are charged on a performance basis set by a number of stages. Meaning, if a stage is not completed, the fee for that stage is not required to be paid.

Strategic Planning & Asset Management

Strategic Planning

Achieving the highest and best use for your real estate asset is complicated in an ever changing market conditions. Careful evaluation and assessment may help to unlock more value from the underlying asset. This phase of the real estate process offers the opportunity to assess any major capital improvement programs, maximize cost savings, and generate lasting benefits through revenue preservation and growth.

Asset Management

Unlike real estate property managers, who handle the day-to-day activities related to a property’s operation, real estate asset managers focus on maximizing property value for investment purposes. The purpose of asset management is to cultivate market value so ownership can increase returns.

This means reducing expenditures when possible, finding the most consistent and highest sources of revenue, and mitigating liability and risk, among other things.
