Salt Lake City: Livability in the 21st Century

HAMILTON PARTNERS, INC.
Hamilton Partners (HP), established in 1987, develops,
owns and operates top quality institutional properties
including office and industrial buildings, as well as shopping
centers, apartment complexes and hotels.
The firm’s successful real estate development philosophy
includes capitalizing on local operating partners’ knowledge,
building and operating the highest quality properties, total land
development control, and providing great service to lessees.
Management is controlled by twenty partners who have
a combined 550 plus years of experience in developing,
owning and operating more than 39 million square feet of
properties throughout the Midwest and Salt Lake City. Since
inception, HP has developed assets worth over $100 million
annually, with a portfolio that continues ownership in over
18 million square feet, valued at nearly $2 billion today. The
firm’s land holdings, over 250 acres, will allow it to continue
its annual development volume.
Key individuals in organizing and developing HP include
founder Allan Hamilton (who passed away in 2007), Ron Lunt,
John Wauterlek, and Jim Sheridan. They and Bruce Bingham,
who heads the Salt Lake City office, are managing partners and
work together to direct all aspects of development. Hamilton
Partners employs over 200 professionals to sustain the firm’s reputation
for excellent property development and management.
In 2002 this Chicago-based commercial real estate
development firm set its sights on Salt Lake City and
changed the city’s skyline forever.
Not only did Hamilton Partners construct the first
Gold LEED certified office tower at 222 South Main Street,
located in the heart of the Central Business District, but
the company also purchased several downtown landmarks
including the Broadway Centre at 300 South and State
Street, the Lollin and Karrick Buildings on Main Street,
and the Newhouse and Boston Buildings on Exchange Place.
Hamilton Partners completed a $10 million renovation to
the Boston Building, a 100 year old tower that is considered
one of Salt Lake City’s first skyscrapers.
