Signature Associates

Signature Associates is a commercial real estate brokerage based in Southfield, Michigan. It works across industrial, high-tech, office, retail, medical and land property, handling leasing and sales, tenant representation, investment sales, build-to-suit, corporate services and project management.

Three service lines sit alongside the brokerage. A property and asset management department manages industrial, office, high-tech and mixed-use buildings for private and institutional owners on a third-party-only basis, which the firm presents as removing any conflict of interest. An advisory and management services group handles portfolio strategy, transaction management and construction management. Signature Maintenance keeps in-house technicians for roofing, masonry, parking lot work, lighting, glass and door maintenance, carpet and floor work, and 24/7 emergency repairs.

The firm was founded on June 30, 1989 by a group of principals who left another commercial real estate firm, and has grown to more than 130 employees across eight regional offices in Michigan and northwest Ohio, including Detroit, Grand Rapids, Kalamazoo, Lansing, Holland, Muskegon and Toledo. It has managed more than 30 million square feet since 1992 and currently manages over 12 million square feet across 250 commercial properties for third-party clients. Almost 60% of its professionals have been with the firm at least 10 years.

Network affiliation is worth confirming: the global coverage page names TCN Worldwide as the firm's alliance, while the company timeline records joining ONCOR International in 1992 and the Cushman & Wakefield Alliance in 2006. Ask which network currently carries your listing's exposure. The Toledo office has moved to 7150 Granite Circle, Suite 200, so check the address before visiting.
