Hiffman National, a commercial property management firm representing more than 130 million square feet in 27 states, announced today that it has been engaged by Agellan Commercial REIT to manage 22 office and industrial properties totaling more than 2.5 million square feet in Houston and Sarasota, Fla. Currently, Hiffman National manages 16 Agellan assets in the Midwest totaling more than 1 million square feet.
“Our relationship with Hiffman property management started in 2014 with two office assets in Illinois,” said Anthony Kingsley, vice president of real estate investments and operations for Agellan. “Over the years, we entrusted another 14 properties across the Midwest to Hiffman because its personal, hospitality-like approach – customized for the unique qualities and tenant make-up of each property – has been unparalleled and contributed to the overall value and success of our investments. We’re excited to have Hiffman National now manage our assets in the Sun Belt region, where we know its top-tier staff can provide the same seamless services.”
Hiffman National provides property management, project services, property accounting and lease administration to office, industrial, retail and medical office buildings. It serves a broad spectrum of owner and investor needs, from improving a building’s health and safety to coordinating capital improvements to assisting with tenant events, all to maximize operational efficiency and help owners retain and earn tenants.
In response to demand from existing clients and referrals, Hiffman National was rebranded last year as it further expanded its high-touch property management services to owners and investors across the country. The firm opened three new hub offices in Tampa, Houston and Los Angeles in 2021. It now has a total of five hub offices and 27 satellite locations, serving clients on-site from local offices as well as remotely.
Bob Assoian, executive vice president and executive managing director for Hiffman National, noted, “I am thrilled to be building on our long-standing relationship with Agellan as we expand the portfolio into the Sun Belt region. As is our practice, we’re quickly onboarding customized solutions for each of these 22 assets in Houston and Sarasota, offering Agellan the same level of service and attention they’ve received in the Midwest for the past 8 years.”
