History

Davenport Partners is a real estate investment firm focused on acquisition and management of commercial properties in the western United States, primarily in Southern California and Hawaii.

The company is comprised of principals who were former partners, officers and shareholders of Spieker Properties (NYSE: SPK).  While at Spieker, the principals were responsible for acquiring and developing over 80 properties in Southern California, consisting of nearly 12 million square feet and $1.5 billion in project cost.  Spieker merged with Equity Office Properties (NYSE: EOP) in July 2001. 

Davenport Partners was subsequently formed in 2002 and since then has acquired numerous commercial properties.  The successful repositioning, leasing, management and, in certain cases, sale of these properties has resulted in significant profit to its investors.

During the Great Recession, as well as, during the Covid Pandemic, the company focused on its existing portfolio, successfully maintaining high occupancy and generating positive cash flow on every project. 

The company is proud to say it has never been in default on a loan, nor has it ever “given back” a property to a lender.

Davenport Partners adds value to properties through its proven, “hands-on” property management and leasing philosophy which has guided the partners throughout their careers.  Our experience through past real estate cycles has taught us that buying real estate with a long-term investment horizon and operating it with an “owners” perspective is the best way to generate sustained investment returns.

Davenport Partners continues to seek investments and/or re-development opportunities in distressed, value-add and core plus properties.  Occasionally, the company will provide fee management services for select owners of commercial properties, including property management, leasing, development management, construction management and land entitlements.
