Lehrman is providing investment opportunities in apartments and grocery-anchored shopping centers. We consider these properties to be necessity based real estate assets, as they provide the goods and services essential to everyday living, regardless of economic conditions.
Our investment strategy focuses on long term, growth oriented investments. Investors are rewarded with tax advantaged cash flow and appreciation. This proven model has achieved above market returns and maintained strength and stability throughout recessions and pandemics.
Ultimately, Lehrman knows that happy customers, tenants, and residents create healthier assets for investors.
We are hands-on in every aspect of our business, from acquisition, to asset management, and disposition. No detail is overlooked.
We take a comprehensive approach to studying trends, market dynamics, demographics, tenant sales, and community appetite.
We utilize our expertise to improve asset quality and asset management, including closely managing operations, rental rates, cash flow, and financings.
Beyond the spreadsheet, we work to optimize our properties to enhance the consumer experience for our customers and residents.
Lehrman emerged from a longstanding shopping center and apartment investment tradition.
Max Lehrman grew up visiting family owned and operated apartments and shopping centers with his father, as well as visiting countless Giant Food grocery stores. From a young age, Max watched and learned how vibrant and profitable necessity real estate businesses were created and operated.
Max saw the critical importance meaningful relationships played in their success, and he’s used that as a model in his own career. He has served and continues to serve as the President of Lehrco Corporation, a retail real estate investment and management company focused on Class A grocery anchored shopping centers in the Washington, D.C. Metro area, where he continues the reputation of success driven by hard work, fostering great assets, and returns.
Max saw an opportunity to replicate this model and deliver best-in-class returns for investors, giving them access to the same strategized apartment and retail portfolios he’d worked on for years. He expanded his portfolio and founded Lehrman in 2023 where his passion, competitive spirit, and relationships in the industry provide investors access to exceptional service and knowledge.
Prior to joining Lehrco, Max worked as a Vice President at George Smith Partners, an entrepreneurial Real Estate Investment Bank based in Los Angeles, CA. He was an integral part of a team managing over $600,000,000 of commercial real estate financings and capital markets transactions nationwide. This experience was critical in honing his understanding and skillset related to real estate finance, capital markets, financial engineering, and working with debt and equity providers.
