LM Real Estate Partners

LM Real Estate Partners is a fully integrated commercial real estate operating company specializing in the acquisition and operation of industrial real estate. Founded in 2015 by Jared Marcus and John Livanos, the firm is responsible for all aspects of capital raising, acquisition, leasing, and property management of warehouse-distribution focused industrial properties. Since its inception, LM has acquired 20 assets and currently manages 9 properties totaling 3.4 million square feet. The company's expertise stems from years of institutional experience in real estate debt and equity investment, including ground-up development, whole loan purchases and origination, purchases of subordinate and distressed debt, as well as the management of structured products secured by commercial real estate loans. LM has built and maintains a network of brokers and lenders with institutional and local experience, fostering strong relationships throughout local and regional commercial real estate communities. This 'on-the-ground' philosophy in its target markets provides LM with early insight into properties as they become available for sale, often producing proprietary deal flow. The firm's success is closely linked to its direct and transparent investment processes when dealing with investors, partners, and lenders alike. LM's clear investment mandate of capital preservation combined with careful, risk-weighted active management provides certainty for investors seeking to obtain quality industrial exposure. The company was founded to capitalize on the migration of essential supply chains back to the US and consumer demand shifts towards online and same-day delivery, which have created an acute demand for space that is driving strong national absorption trends and upward pressure on rents.
