The Way We Work

Our strategy is to work collaboratively with multigenerational property owners to determine the best path forward for their real estate portfolios.

In many cases, an outright sale is not economically efficient due to tax considerations. We work discreetly with families to develop tailored transition plans that relieve them of day-to-day ownership and operational responsibilities, while minimizing tax exposure. Owners remain involved as much—or as little—as they choose, with transparency, flexibility, and respect for family legacy at the core of every plan.


Focused Geographic Strategy

Franklin Penn maintains a highly focused geographic strategy centered in Ardmore, Pennsylvania. This concentrated presence has allowed the firm to develop deep market expertise, including a precise understanding of market rents, neighboring ownership, active investment, and the forces driving growth and long-term value in the district. This local knowledge informs disciplined acquisition, leasing, and asset management decisions and supports sustained success across the portfolio.

By concentrating exclusively on the Main Line, we reduce risk for our partnerships. Our deep, shared market knowledge allows us and our partners to make informed, aligned decisions. We are focused on creating lasting legacy while reducing the operational burden for our partners.
