In the Atlanta commercial real estate market, there is a significant difference between simply owning a building and truly optimizing an asset. Since 1935, the EpiCity family has worked through the many cycles of growth in this city. We have discovered that the best approach to total asset property management happens when sophisticated resources meet a personal, boutique approach.
Many owners struggle with a fragmented model where construction, brokerage, and management operate as separate teams with different goals. At EpiCity, we solve this problem through a unified strategy of real estate asset services that incorporates all aspects of managing a commercial or multi-family property. We combine the day-to-day operations with long-term financial strategy, removing the friction that leads to high costs and vacant spaces.
A Unified Vision for Total Asset Property Management
Property management is often viewed as a tactical job that revolves around handling maintenance and collecting rent. Asset management, on the other hand, is seen as a high-level financial function. Although these two functions can be delegated as separate management functions, we believe these two must work together.
Our model brings these functions together under a single goal of value optimization. When our team members understand the long-term vision for your building, they stop thinking about “costs” and start thinking about “value.” This alignment of total asset property management means every small repair or tenant interaction serves your broader financial objectives.
The Vertical Integration Advantage
Vertical integration is the heart of our business. By keeping management, brokerage, and construction under one roof, we act as a single point of contact for you. You no longer have to manage multiple vendors who don’t talk to each other. Instead, you have a partner who sees the whole picture of your asset’s health.
This unified approach creates a measurable impact:
- Faster Revenue: Coordination between construction and leasing teams gets tenants moved in sooner.
- Cost Control: Our in-house oversight identifies savings that outside vendors often miss.
- Tenant Stability: A cohesive experience managed by a team that knows the building’s history leads to higher tenant retention.
Building Success from the Ground Up
We believe in being proactive. Our property managers are involved during the design and build phases to help “design out” future maintenance headaches. By choosing the right materials and systems early, we prevent operational problems before the first brick is laid.
When a building moves from construction to active management, our team uses strict protocols to check every mechanical and electrical system. This attention to detail means your property is efficient from day one, providing a smooth transition for your tenants.
Building Success from the Ground Up
In a volatile market, you need a partner you can depend on. We use real-time data and property management technology to move beyond simple spreadsheets. This allows us to forecast occupancy risks and schedule maintenance before a small issue becomes an expensive disaster.
Because we have in-house expertise, we can also pivot quickly when the market shifts. Whether it is converting an office space to medical use or refreshing a retail storefront, our agility protects your value when capital is expensive.
