Chestnut Hill Realty is one of New England's leading full service real estate companies
As acquirers and developers of commercial property in both Massachusetts and Rhode Island, Chestnut Hill Realty (CHR) has learned the benefits of identifying the unique characteristics of each property. This knowledge gives CHR its comparative advantage in a very competitive marketplace.
Our breadth and depth of experience, in all aspects of property development ownership and management, allows us to provide superior real estate opportunities to our tenants. We take great pride in the low tenant turnover rates at our properties, which we attribute to our careful consideration in choosing the right tenant for each location. This is made possible by our leasing personnel, who specialize in pre-marketing research. As a result, our tenants have flourished for many years in our high visibility locations.
Tenant retention is supported by managing properties specifically with the tenants' goals in mind. CHR understands that each commercial tenant has their own particular requirements. We make it our job to understand those needs and to provide them with an environment that enables them to fulfill their goals.
Our philosophy is reflected in our determination to combine great locations with first class renovations and/or new construction and then identifying the tenants who can best take advantage of our newly established, high visibility identities. The result has been the maximization of property values for tenants as well as ownership.
Chestnut Hill Realty's success with acquisition, development, leasing and management has led to numerous consulting contracts with other property owners. Clients in the private, municipal and private non-profit sectors have all benefited from our vast knowledge and years of real estate experience.
