What We Do

Ellis Partners brings a deeply analytical, seasoned and yet entrepreneurial approach to the acquisition, entitlement, development, renovation and repositioning, leasing, asset management and financial management of its investments.

Acquisitions

Acquisitions

Proactive and thoughtful market and asset level research precedes any successful real estate acquisition. The Ellis Partners team prides itself on its ability to evaluate market opportunities before others see them and to use its longstanding relationships with the brokerage and property owner community as well as its reputation for “doing what we say we’re going to do” to position and purchase unique investment opportunities.

Land
Entitlement

Land Entitlement

Combining local market knowledge with meticulous planning and decades of experience, the Ellis Partners team is able to obtain complex development entitlements by working closely with city, county and federal agencies as well as local communities and interest groups.

Development

Development

With expertise in the development of office, retail, industrial, residential and mixed-use property, Ellis Partners has consistently delivered sustainable, high-quality and innovative projects to the market through a “hands on” process of planning and development management.  The Ellis team’s ability to collaborate with cities and communities as well as expert teams of architects, engineers and contractors allows them to optimize results for communities, tenants and investors.

Renovation and Repositioning

Renovation and Repositioning

Ellis Partners focuses on recognizing the unrealized value of existing, underperforming assets and executing complex business plans that unlock that value.  The team’s experience includes adaptive re-use, historic renovation, environmentally impaired sites, and a wide variety of renovations of office, industrial and retail assets.  Successful property repositioning involves developing a scope of work to address the specific needs of each property including project façade and interior renovation, project rebranding, systems and/or structural upgrades and re-tenanting.  The Ellis Partners team has the in-depth problem solving experience necessary to address the often-unique challenges presented while completing successful renovation and repositioning projects.

Leasing and Asset Management

Leasing and Asset Management

The Ellis Partners asset management team brings multi-market relationships and multi-cycle experience to the process of leasing and operating the Ellis portfolio.  Through nimble and diligent execution, the Ellis team repeatedly outperforms the competition in moving assets to full occupancy as well as in using its high touch management style to cultivate and retain tenants.  The asset management team is also deeply steeped in the budgeting and management of operating expenses with an eye for that perfect balance between efficiency and creating exceptional environments for our tenants.

Financial
Managment

Financial Management

Ellis Partners brings a broad range of financial skills to bear including the ability to engineer, negotiate and close complex debt/equity financings and re-financings of its own projects as well as managing lender and equity partner reporting requirements and relationships.  Due to our longstanding experience with a broad range of institutional partners, our financial team is expertly versed in best-in-class reporting practices.
