When MK Equities, the predecessor to UREE was founded in 2001 – the company engaged in commercial and residential real estate investment and development in the urban environment of San Francisco. That focus remains unchanged with the expansion of our organization and growth of our staff now focused under the Urban Real Estate Equities flag. The principals of the firm have over 60 years of “hands-on” experience in acquisition, disposition, financing, management and development of commercial, residential and retail real estate. The San Francisco and surrounding urban environment presents specialized opportunities for which UREE is particularly well suited:
Re-development/ adaptive reuse
UREE has profitably renovated, expanded, and converted well located properties, many with significant historic merit, repositioning them in the market, thereby benefiting from changing demographics, business uses and tastes.
Development and Land Use
UREE has successfully entitled land for commercial and residential use, as well as change of use for existing buildings, adding new life and increased value to otherwise undesirable sites and obsolete structures.
Asset/Property Management
Once an asset has been repositioned or developed, the value is enhanced by a keen focus on day to day management of the property. UREE has done this successfully over the years and has made asset management and hands-on property management an integral part of the investment’s ultimate valuation.
