What Akam does

AKAM (legal entity: AKAM Living Services, Inc.) is a New York-headquartered property management and real estate services firm founded in 1983 that manages approximately 500 properties across condominiums, cooperatives, homeowner associations, new development properties, commercial spaces, and multifamily communities. The firm operates from dual corporate headquarters in New York City (99 Park Avenue) and South Florida (Dania Beach), with satellite offices in Westchester County and Palm Beach, making it the #2 property management firm in NYC by The Real Deal's ranking. Following its February 2026 acquisition by Audax Private Equity from Nautic Partners, AKAM continues to operate under existing CEO Ken Greene with the management team intact.

The company's service portfolio spans core property management (recurring management fees), capital project management (project-based), energy management and regulatory compliance (including Local Law 97 advisory), residential and commercial brokerage (commission-based), insurance and risk management advisory, and a two-track procurement program that delivers negotiated vendor pricing and a Facilities Management Platform. AKAM differentiates through its Residential Intelligence (ResIQ) business philosophy, which integrates five pillars — financial expertise, technological intelligence, practical sensibility, creativity, and emotional awareness — into service delivery. The firm deploys proprietary technology platforms including the LifeCycle Platform (QR-code-based digital asset management for tracking building equipment lifecycle, warranties, and maintenance) and the Board Member 101 educational platform with its ResIQ podcast series.

AKAM operates a multi-brand structure: the flagship AKAM brand serves upscale and luxury markets, Metro Management Development (acquired March 2025) serves the midscale segment, and Orsid (unified November 2025) extends the firm's NYC and Florida presence. The company has executed six acquisitions since 2022 under a Buy & Build strategy, including Property Management Resources (Florida, June 2024), Metro Management Development (NYC, March 2025), Orsid (November 2025), and Hoffman Management (NYC, December 2025). With over 1,000 team members serving properties across New York (Manhattan, Brooklyn, Bronx, Queens, Long Island, Westchester, Connecticut) and Florida (South Florida, Palm Beach), AKAM generates revenue primarily through recurring property management fees on a custom quote-based "Request A Proposal" pricing model tailored to each client's property type, size, and service scope.
