Commercial Property Management in Charlotte and the Southeast
Childress Klein manages office, industrial, retail and mixed-use properties across Charlotte and the Southeast, both for our own portfolio and for third-party owners and investors. We manage more than 3.4 million square feet of office space and more than 1.8 million square feet of retail space. Our in-house team handles day-to-day operations, facilities management, engineering, accounting and lease administration, so owners protect their investment and tenants stay focused on their business.
We manage every property as if we own it, because in many cases we do. Our property managers, engineers, sustainability specialists and facility managers bring decades of experience with high-profile buildings, deep knowledge of local markets and a hands-on approach to tenant service.
We prioritize preventive and predictive maintenance for every building system, careful vendor sourcing and risk management, and planned capital improvements that reduce deferred maintenance and protect long-term value. Our buildings also lead on sustainability, from LEED-certified projects such as 550 S. Tryon to ENERGY STAR–recognized buildings at LakePointe.

Our best practices
Successfully managing real estate projects demands a profound understanding of the local market. This includes knowledge of local codes and laws, familiarity with reputable vendors and service resources, and awareness of environmental factors that impact the property.
At our company, we prioritize the recruitment of highly skilled and talented employees, recognizing their invaluable contributions to our success.
Our maintenance teams consist of skilled and experienced personnel who specialize in operating and maintaining large mechanical and electrical equipment. With a proactive approach, we prioritize a comprehensive program of preventive and predictive maintenance for all building systems.
At our company, while technical skills and industry experience are crucial qualifications for all positions, the ability to interact effectively with our business partners and tenants and surpass their service expectations is the paramount requirement for every member of our team.
Safeguarding our clients against various risks is a top priority for us. While preventive maintenance, security services, and fire protection play a crucial role, our meticulous attention to contracts with vendors is often the least visible yet critically significant aspect. We employ customized contract forms and adhere to rigorous internal approval and administrative procedures.
