For over thirty years, we have been leaders in our industry, completing over 5.4 million square feet of development in the Western United States in markets including San Diego, Phoenix, Fresno, Denver, Sacramento, Seattle and Yuma.

Underlying our experience is the strong belief that every project must be anchored by a strong vision. This approach applies to every scale. Whether it is the strong market intuition shown in Regents Square and Scripps Northridge, the unwavering commitment to the promise of Downtown San Diego shown in Smart Corner, Advanced Equities Plaza & Makers Quarter, the innovation captured in the Sanford Consortium for Regenerative Medicine Research Laboratory, or the cutting-edge financing structures used for Hall of Justice and University of California - Office of the President, Rob Lankford has created a firm anchored by strong vision.
Central to the execution of such vision is the Lankford&Associates team, which includes specialists in every area of development, land acquisition, entitlement, design and construction, leasing, financing, deal structures, marketing, team composition and property management. Each project is an exciting new challenge that requires unwavering commitment and expertise. Executive staff is involved in every aspect of a development, ensuring optimum execution.

From land acquisition to project development and management, our team is well versed and experienced in making a client's concept a reality. Several of our projects exemplify Lankford&Associates' foresight in the unpredictable behavior of Real Estate markets. Land acquisition requires extensive due diligence, research and preparation, and, quite importantly, instincts based on experience. From our very first project on the West Coast, Regents Square - one of the first-Class A office complexes in the newly emerging Golden Triangle, to one of our more recent projects, Makers Quarter – an emerging and innovative neighborhood consisting of six blocks of mixed use residential projects, office and retail in East Village in Downtown San Diego, we see opportunity in locations and the synergy of unique markets.
The team at Lankford&Associates pursues intelligent opportunity. We have honed our ability to assemble, finance and develop parcels of land, which form the nucleus of new development areas and contribute to surrounding economic developments.
Creative financing solutions are our forte. Our in-house financial team successfully delivers financial analysis, pro forma development, and project and asset accounting management. Our extensive relationships in the financing industry allow our creativity to take shape in any economic environment.
Construction Management & Tenant Improvement
Lankford&Associates, Inc. orchestrates every project through the predevelopment, development, construction, and occupancy phases. The direct coordination of architects, contractors, and sub-contractors assures our clients of responsible dollar management and accountability. We provide clients with comprehensive construction and tenant improvement management to fit each client's unique needs and requirements. Our direct involvement throughout the process provides our clients with constant updates while also voicing their vision and concerns to the development team.
We work on the client's behalf to ensure construction is moving on schedule and within budget. Our staff has expertise in plan review, securing permits, bidding, scheduling and budget management for both large scale projects and tenant improvements.
Asset, Property Management & Leasing
We handle effective day-to-day asset management of offices, medical buildings, and government facilities. Through strong management and tenant relations, we supervise maintenance, manage income & expense reporting, and ensure smooth facility operations. Our history has been devoted to development and management of first class office buildings, medical office buildings, and major government facilities - designed and constructed to appeal to the sophisticated tenant in today's office marketplace. We are committed to and have incorporated high quality materials, tenant sensitive public spaces, low maintenance, and highly efficient operating systems in our projects enabling us to attract major national clients. Our firm is highly respected throughout the industry. The brokerage community, public agencies, and tenants recognize that a project involving Lankford&Associates will be of the highest quality, will be employee sensitive, and will be of notable architectural design.
Our asset and property management team is an extension of our development team. Our philosophy is one of building and owning, either directly or in partnership with major financial institutions, and continuing both property and asset management for the many years of a project's life. We believe it is critical and important that the development team has the capacity, the ability, and the desire to continue long-term property and asset management roles. The decisions made in the early stages of the project's life are therefore directly related to successful, long term management.
It is paramount, that our asset and property management team have a close working relationship with the tenant improvement team. Our tenants are the backbone of our business. We must be sure that we are addressing their concerns every step of the way. Accordingly, in every project we have developed, we have directed our own tenant improvements and continue to do so in an effort to assure tenant satisfaction. Our goal is to accomplish an open line of communication enabling the tenant to voice directly any concerns they may have during this most important phase of the project; construction and occupancy of their suite.
