History of Company
Urban Real Estate Equities was formed in 2008 when the two founders joined forces by combining the vast real estate expertise of MK Equities (Mike Kelly) and Urban Real Estate Advisors (Monica Finnegan). Their goal: to provide the San Francisco real estate community with the unparalleled depth and breadth of real estate knowledge that these two individuals and their team bring to the table. Kelly’s background in real estate acquisition, financial structuring, redevelopment and management combined with Finnegan’s years of leasing, sales and community involvement in San Francisco presents a dynamic opportunity to realize the highest and best value for investor owned real property holdings and strategic needs.
