Expertise

We bring experience, creativity and discipline to every process.

Ellis Partners brings an analytical, seasoned, and yet entrepreneurial approach to the acquisition, entitlement, development, renovation and repositioning, leasing, asset management, and financial management of our investments. Our approach is rooted in discipline and tenacity, cycle-tested to meet complexity with creativity.

  • Our investment sourcing is informed by over three decades of Bay Area focus, deep market and submarket knowledge, and a refined approach to analysis.  We excel in the ability to clearly identify the demand thesis, underwrite to compensate for the risks assumed, and to leverage our extensive Bay Area network to surface and capture compelling investment opportunities. Our regional specialization allows us to stay on top of local political dynamics and shifting city and county regulatory and planning frameworks that will impact the micro markets of the Bay Area over the course of our investment durations.

  • We are known for combining decades of local market experience with meticulous planning to obtain complex development entitlements. Working closely with city, county and federal agencies, as well as local communities and interest groups, we work to find productive paths forward so we can bring great projects to life.

  • Our team consistently delivers high-quality, design-forward and innovative projects through a "hands-on" process of planning and management. Our ability to collaborate with cities and communities as well as expert consultants including architects, engineers, builders and land use attorneys, leads to optimal results.

  • By recognizing the unrealized value of existing underperforming assets, we execute complex business plans that unlock value for tenants and investors. Our experience includes adaptive re-use, historic renovation, environmentally impaired site remediation, and a wide variety of renovations and market repositionings of office, industrial and retail assets.

  • We bring a network of multi-market relationships to the leasing and management of the Ellis Partners portfolio. Our longstanding immersion in the Bay Area real estate community provides a durable advantage in our ability to connect dots and then identify resources and decision makers to solve problems and create opportunities for tenants, investors and communities.

  • We bring deep financial expertise to all of our investments, including the structuring and execution of complex debt and equity financings as well as the management of institutional quality lender and equity partner reporting requirements and relationships.
