According to Kidder Mathews, in the last year, its property management division has reached its highest revenue to date. One of the largest assignments involved 1 million square feet of office space at 555 Tower in downtown Bellevue, Wash., one of Seattle’s top developments.

Founded in 2015, Lift Partners focuses on repositioning and redevelopment of industrial and office properties along the West Coast. Since its inception, Lift has acquired 6 million square feet of industrial and office assets valued at $1 billion.

Steady business

Kidder Mathews is the largest independent commercial real estate firm on the West Coast, with more than 900 professionals in 19 offices across Washington, Oregon, California, Idaho, Nevada and Arizona.

In October 2022, Kidder Mathews picked up the assignment to manage a 1.2 million-square-foot mostly industrial portfolio in Southern California on behalf of Terreno Realty Corp. That deal brought a total of 2.8 million square feet of Terreno properties under Kidder Mathews’ management.
