Lincoln Equities Group, LLC (LEG) consists of several entities which own, operate, develop and manage commercial and residential properties throughout the tri-state area. Historically, the company's focus has been to anticipate and adapt to market fluctuations, in order to maximize investor and partner returns. Lincoln Equities Group, based in Rutherford, New Jersey, operates a commercial real estate portfolio comprising more than 2 million square feet of Class A office facilities located throughout the New York metropolitan area.  For more than two decades, Lincoln Equities Group has built an outstanding reputation as a leading owner, developer and property manager in the market. The firm's office portfolio was built upon a contrarian strategy of purchasing primarily from institutional owners during the real estate recession of the early 1990's. Most of these properties were leased at below market rates and were not fully occupied; two of them were completely vacant. The principals of LEG accurately sensed that a combination of an experienced hands-on leasing and management team in a recovering market along with selective capital improvements, would result in superior returns in the Northern New Jersey and Long Island office markets.

At the same time, the firm underwent a significant expansion in several critical areas which provided its principals with a wealth of expertise to draw upon. From its inception, LEG has maintained engineering and construction professionals who play critical roles not only in upgrading owned properties and maximizing efficiencies, but also as consultants on complicated acquisition and development issues. The multi-faceted backgrounds of its extensive employee base provide LEG with levels of in-house expertise that few firms of its size possess. This team is responsible for the superior services, creative marketing and financial insight that has enabled LEG to achieve the highest rents in every submarket that it has entered.

Since 2000, LEG has entered into joint ventures as an operating partner with several prestigious institutional partners including:  Avenue Capital, Crow Holdings, Investcorp, Meritage Properties, and Willett Companies.  In addition, LEG has handled third-party management and leasing assignments on behalf of INVESCO, Loeb Partners Realty, Marnier Financial, and Wells Real Estate Investment Funds. The firm's stellar track record in closing transactions has enhanced its reputation among brokers and sellers in the tri-state area and has enabled it to succeed in an increasingly competitive market without compromising superior investor and partner returns. The firm's outlook for the future is one of continued growth at a cautious pace with a willingness to adapt to market changes, venture into new markets, and to acquire different types of income producing properties. The company's long-standing credo of "combining vision with value" summarizes its recent successes and future objectives and has enabled it to keep a "LEG" up on the competition.
