KGIP

What KGIP does

KG Investment Properties (KGIP) is a privately held boutique commercial real estate services firm founded in 2001 and headquartered in Bellevue, Washington. The company provides three integrated service lines: Property Management Services for office, retail, and industrial properties (currently managing over 25 million SF across the Pacific Northwest and California); Development Services that structure joint ventures with capital partners to create institutional-quality projects; and Investment Services that assist with acquisitions, dispositions, valuation, due diligence, and marketing (cumulative $1.5B+ in transactions). KGIP serves institutional property owners and private investors across Washington, Oregon, and California through 14 offices and 125+ team members.

KGIP's core technology is described as a traditional commercial real estate services stack with no proprietary technology platform. The firm differentiates through deep market knowledge, a 25-year track record, and a broad network that surfaces off-market investment opportunities. Notable development projects include Sumner Meadows (a 1,178,000 SF speculative industrial project in Sumner, WA), the 400 108th Avenue office tower in downtown Bellevue (co-developed with Clarion Partners, targeting LEED Gold), and Wilbutron Village / Bellevue South (NAIOP Retail Development of the Year, 2020). The client roster spans major institutional capital partners (Invesco, Clarion Partners, Principal Real Estate Investors, Sagard, Terreno Realty, Ares, CapRock Partners, Lift Partners) and tech tenants (Microsoft, Amazon, Meta, Apple, University of Washington).

KGIP's revenue model combines three streams: ongoing managed services fees on 25M+ SF of property; professional services fees from development joint ventures; and transaction fees from investment services. Pricing is quote-based and tied to scope, property type, and portfolio size. The go-to-market motion is enterprise field sales through direct, relationship-based engagement with institutional owners and capital partners. In 2024, KGIP expanded into Multifamily Management Services under a new Managing Director, signaling vertical diversification beyond traditional commercial asset classes. KGIP celebrated its 25th anniversary in 2026 and was ranked the 5th largest commercial property manager in the Puget Sound region.
