Element specializes in repositioning underutilized properties into thriving, income-generating assets. Our team develops tailored leasing strategies, evaluates space reconfigurations, and guides owners through value-add improvements that align with market demand. By combining market insight with creative problem-solving, we help owners unlock new revenue streams, strengthen tenant mix, and position their buildings for long-term success.


We understand that owning and operating a building can present unique challenges for nonprofits, especially when balancing mission delivery with new responsibilities. Element provides hands-on support, from budgeting and preventative maintenance to rental strategies and vendor management. Our collaborative approach equips nonprofit leaders with the tools, systems, and confidence they need to manage facilities effectively, generate supplemental income, and ensure that real estate ownership strengthens, rather than distracts from, their mission.
For commercial property owners, Element delivers asset management services designed to maximize value and performance. We provide ongoing oversight of leasing, financial reporting, and capital planning, while also implementing strategies to improve operating efficiency and asset value. Whether it’s repositioning space, pursuing energy efficiency upgrades, or exploring tools like Historic Tax Credits or PACE financing, we bring the expertise and execution needed to keep assets competitive and profitable.

Element delivers hands-on asset management that strengthens performance today while positioning properties for long-term growth. From nonprofits to private owners, we tailor strategies that unlock value, improve operations, and maximize impact.
