Lincoln Equities Group

What Lincoln Equities Group does

Lincoln Equities Group is a privately held, full-service real estate company headquartered in East Rutherford, NJ, with approximately 11-50 employees. Founded in 1988 (per company history), the firm owns, operates, develops, and manages commercial and residential properties across the New York/New Jersey metropolitan area, Texas, and select European markets (Germany, England, Ireland, Spain). Its operations span five core verticals: industrial/logistics (Lincoln Logistics), Class A office, residential (including workforce and mixed-income housing), life sciences/lab, and retail, with more than 4.5 million square feet of development currently underway and a 5 million SF managed portfolio containing 250+ tenants across 10 facilities.

The company's business model rests on four integrated service lines: Development Services (acquisition, redevelopment, land entitlement including ULURP expertise), Property Management (delivered through wholly-owned subsidiary Linque Management Company Inc., offering property/asset/construction management and integrated leasing), Receivership Services for distressed assets, and a European investment platform (Eurolinque) co-investing with institutional capital. Revenue is generated through development fees, property sales, equity participation in joint ventures, and recurring managed-services fees. The firm operates primarily as an enterprise joint-venture operating partner for institutional investors, private equity firms, and pension funds, with notable capital relationships including MetLife, Bank of New York, Grosvenor Investment Management, and recent lender PCCP.

The customer base is concentrated in enterprise tenants across logistics (UPS, Amazon, Home Depot), life sciences (BeiGene, Allergan), manufacturing (Ingersoll Rand, Akzo Nobel, Ingredion, Henkel), healthcare (Johnson & Johnson), and retail (Bass Pro Shops). Strategic differentiators include 35 years of market-cycle experience, deep institutional capital relationships, in-house ULURP and brownfield remediation expertise, and an integrated platform that captures development, management, and equity returns across the property lifecycle.
