WHO WE ARE

Okumus Properties (OP) is a real estate operator focused on acquiring small bay, flex industrial properties located in select Midwest markets and locally in Philadelphia where the company is headquartered. At its core, the firm targets well-located but antiquated industrial buildings and creates value via strategic facility upgrades that help bolster in-place rental income. By acquiring buildings that have exhibited strong historical occupancy in supply-constrained suburban locations at attractive entry pricing, we can generate steady and relatively high yields in our investments.

In addition to its highly selective acquisition process, OP leverages its proprietary property database to drive acquisition efforts and efficiently identify investments that best align with its investment strategy. Through this data aggregation tool, the firm has a pulse on every building that fits its criteria in each of its markets and strategically engages with investment sales brokers and owners to identify the most actionable and attractive opportunities to pursue.

Leadership has been overseeing the management and leasing of its legacy-portfolio of flex properties in the Philadelphia area over the past decade and is poised to expand its portfolio into high conviction markets throughout the Midwest. The firm completed its first acquisition in Indianapolis in 2024, marking the start of this expansion. Although its legacy portfolio includes single-tenant flex buildings, OP has fully transitioned its efforts to exclusively acquiring multi-tenant buildings.

Niche
Sector
Investing

Our nuanced and disciplined investing approach focused on aggregating one asset type meeting specific property parameters in only certain geographies allows us to source differentiated opportunities. By filtering our focus by multiple layers, we identify the best opportunities at any given time on or off-market.

Contrarian
Geographical
Focus

We focus exclusively on select Midwest markets and Philadelphia in the best suburban micro-locations. By focusing on these markets, opposed to the more highly concentrated and competitive geographies, such as the Southeast and Southwest, we can acquire assets in high conviction locations at relatively attractive pricing.

PropTech
Utilization

The advent of PropTech has altered the commercial real estate landscape, and we view it is as a necessity to integrate the latest technology into our acquisition efforts and management operations. We are constantly adapting to new trends in the industry and continue to develop proprietary models and data aggregation systems to give us a competitive edge.

Tenant
Centric
Management

Although we streamline and automate our management practices as much as possible, we maintain personalized relationships with our tenants and view these businesses as the foundation of our portfolio’s success. We're committed to providing timely, fair and best-in-class management of our buildings.

Broker
Partnerships

We view our partnerships with brokers as a crucial component in our ability to source new opportunities and generate strong leasing outcomes with our existing assets. Therefore, we work closely with the brokerage community and will protect their efforts in helping us grow our portfolio.
