Broder & Sachse Real Estate

What Broder & Sachse Real Estate does

Broder & Sachse Real Estate is a Detroit-headquartered, full-service commercial real estate investment and management firm founded in 1993, operating across multifamily, retail (including grocery-anchored shopping centers with national reach), boutique, office, industrial, and mixed-use asset classes. The firm has executed more than $2 billion in transactions over a 30-year history and currently owns or manages in excess of 18,000 multifamily units, supported by 300+ team members across the enterprise and a primary geographic footprint covering Michigan, Alabama, Tennessee, Ohio, South Carolina, Illinois, and Wisconsin, with Colorado identified as a target expansion market.

The firm generates revenue through five distinct streams: real estate acquisition and disposition (transaction fees), property management (managed services), development (professional services), construction management (professional services), and financing and refinancing (transaction fees). Its go-to-market serves accredited investors and joint venture partners on the capital side and national retail tenants — including Kroger, Publix, Giant Eagle, Sendiks, Food City, Chick-fil-A, Chipotle, McDonald's, Starbucks, Panda Express, Portillo's, Panera Bread, Walgreens, and O'Reilly Auto Parts — on the leasing side.

The firm is structured as an enterprise of five integrated operating companies: Broder Sachse Real Estate (investment and management), Morrey's Contracting, Sachse Construction, Stuart Mechanical, and Zolman Restoration. This vertical integration is the firm's central operating model, designed to capture margin across the real estate lifecycle and control execution on value-add and capex work. No proprietary technology platform or AI/ML capability is disclosed; investor relations are supported through a dedicated investor portal, and the firm maintains an annual Retail Summit NYC as an industry-facing platform.
