Agents of Change in Turbulent Times

From making office spaces worth the commute to streamlining the experiential retail environment, leading commercial property management firms continue to adapt to shifting economic conditions and tenant needs.

In addition to employing traditional management best practices, managers are embracing new technologies, including artificial intelligence, to increase efficiencies, minimize disruptions and save costs.

The highest concentration is in industrial properties followed by office and retail.

Methodology

The Top Commercial Property Management Firms of 2024 ranking utilized self-reported data for all firms. The ranking was calculated using a weighted formula based on a variety of factors, including the total square footage and number of properties under management, property operations (both owned and managed), and presence across property sectors. The ranking represents what we feel is a logical balance among firm growth, market share and property diversity. Ranking factors are not limited to the data that appears on this page.
