Brown Investment Properties

Brown Investment Properties is a family-owned commercial real estate firm in Greensboro, North Carolina that incorporated in 1960. It runs three lines of business: brokerage, property management and development and construction, with its primary market in the Piedmont Triad.

The brokerage lists property for sale and lease and represents clients on acquisitions. The management group handles commercial, retail, office, industrial, multifamily and student housing assets, covering accounting and lease administration, on-site maintenance and tenant service, and the firm also leases its own apartment communities. Development work has included office buildings, shopping centers, apartments, townhomes and condominiums, with staff involved from start to finish.

The firm says its directors and senior management hold 185 collective years of experience and that its team holds CCIM, CPM, CPA and CLS designations. It has acted as a receiver since 1990, managing approximately 65 multifamily properties with more than 8,000 total units for lenders and special servicers, plus 16 commercial properties totaling just over 1.4 million square feet, and states it can be bonded within 24 hours of a court appointment.
