Long-Term Focus
We have developed and managed our projects for decades. One project, built by a predecessor company, has been operated by members of the Frankel Family since 1949.
"Hands-on" Approach
Whether we are developing or managing an existing project for a build-to-suit owner, or for our own investment, we bring a practical, hands-on approach to the initiative.
Community Orientation
We envision our developments as community partnerships and take an active role everywhere we do business. Our projects, we believe, are catalysts for positive growth and economic revitalization.
