Lincoln Property Company Expands Property Management Services in Southern California with Strategic Investment in Unire Real Estate Group

Lincoln Property Company (“Lincoln”), a global full-service real estate firm, announced a strategic investment in Unire Real Estate Group (“Unire”), a third-party commercial real estate property management and asset services firm based in Brea, California. This investment adds 60 million square feet of industrial and office space across more than 300 assets with 700 tenants to Lincoln’s property management portfolio, making it the largest property manager in Southern California.

Since its founding in 2000, Unire has strategically managed its growth, focusing on California markets and assets where its experience directly benefits its clients. Unire’s clients own holdings that are instrumental to the flow of goods throughout the United States; the Southern California industrial market is the connector of the Ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles and the Western U.S., making it the world’s largest and most dynamic industrial market. By partnering with Lincoln, the Unire team will benefit from Lincoln’s national property and asset management expertise and the firm’s collaborative approach to operating assets across the U.S.

Additionally, Unire’s clients can leverage Lincoln’s full-service operating platform and national reach for properties operated outside of California, offering a more holistic partner for their real estate portfolios throughout the country.

“Unire’s commitment to high-touch client service is aligned with Lincoln’s property management service model, which is built on delivering exceptional, tailored solutions to meet the evolving needs of each individual client,” said Rob Kane, Senior Executive Vice President for Lincoln’s Southern California Region. “Despite near-term volatility, Southern California—particularly the Inland Empire—remains the premier industrial market in the country. The combined scale and expertise of Unire and Lincoln positions our united team to navigate these challenges and continue delivering exceptional value to clients and their tenants.”

Unire’s Leadership team – including Griffin Cogorno, President; Marc Selznick, Vice President of Asset Management; JoEtta Younger, Vice President of Management Operations; and Kelly Chiang, Vice President of Accounting – will continue to manage Unire’s operations and are investors in the Lincoln-owned business. Unire Founder and CEO Mark Harryman will step down from daily business activities and remain an advisor and investor in the business.

“Over the last 25 years, we have positioned Unire as the top property management firm in Southern California. This investment from Lincoln signals the next stage for our business and our team will now have more opportunity to grow our capabilities,” said Mr. Harryman. “Unire and Lincoln are aligned in our company cultures and business values, based around the idea of providing the highest level of individualized service to our respective clients. This was an incredibly important attribute for all of us at Unire, and this partnership will allow us to serve our clients more efficiently and effectively with the support of Lincoln’s national platform.”

“Our partnership with Lincoln is rooted in mutual respect and collaboration. This mindset affords our team the benefit of business continuity and executive involvement as we continue our mission of providing client-centric property and asset management services in Southern California. Strong tenant relations and retention are incredibly important in this market and a main point of focus for Unire,” said Mr. Cogorno. “This partnership opens exciting new opportunities to expand our reach and enhance the breadth of services for our clients, many of whom we’ve worked with for more than two decades. I am energized to partner with my new Lincoln colleagues, working together to remain the number one property management firm in the region.”

Lincoln is an active provider of property and asset management services in Southern California. With its investment in Unire, the firm now has 110 million square feet under management across the region.

“We are hyper-focused on investing in likeminded companies that enable us to scale in strategic markets where we have a strong foothold, and in sectors that have solid fundamentals,” added Ali Daubert, Chief Strategy Officer for Lincoln. “We are excited to make this strategic investment in Unire, a business that aligns with our own goals and values. We are grateful to Griffin, Mark, and the Unire team for trusting our vision and entering into what will be a valuable partnership for both companies.”
