Firm Description
Entitlement: By working closely with municipalities throughout the entitlement process, The Ivanhoe Companies brings quality developments from conception to fruition. We have designed and built residential communities in a variety of architecture styles and price points. Ivanhoe’s communities continue to harmoniously integrate challenging features with woodlands, wetlands, creeks, and ponds. Our communities have successfully embraced unique “Smart Growth” and “Infill” opportunities by comprehensively considering and addressing all necessary factors in their surrounding areas. We continue to successfully integrate commercial elements into our communities through creative zoning and partnering with municipalities.Land Development: As one of the largest privately-owned and managed land development companies in Michigan, we have earned and nurtured our reputation as one of the leading proponents of developing environmentally sensitive communities. The Ivanhoe Companies have won numerous prestigious awards and we are the only three-time winner of the Michigan Community of the Year Award. Other awards include the nationally acclaimed American Planning Association Award, Developer of the Year, Best in National Living, multiple SAM awards, and a number of management and beautification awards.
Building: The Ivanhoe Companies have extensive experience and a strong track record of success in all aspects of the residential and multifamily building process. We have built communities of townhomes, attached condominiums, detached condominiums, and apartments. Ivanhoe Brokerage Services have operated multiple acclaimed sales and marketing centers.
Property Management: Our real estate management and advisory services currently manage a portfolio of apartments, offices, and medical properties. We take pride in their expense-side management, repositioning, and their addition of value through creative marketing. Ivanhoe has developed programs specifically designed to ensure that properties are well managed and well maintained from both functional and financial perspectives. Our years of experience in property management result in efficient and profitable property management, and the highest possible rate of return.
Acquisitions: With a focus on market cycles, The Ivanhoe Companies assembles, rezones, and entitles large and small parcels of land. We have a history of acquiring apartments – commercial, developmental and income producing properties – by carefully studying each area and the needs of the marketplace with the goal of redeveloping, repositioning, and improving the value of the asset.
