What UHM Properties does

UHM Properties is a full-service property management company headquartered at 530 Warren Street, Boston, Massachusetts, founded in 2003 by eight senior professionals and rebranded from United Housing Management in 2019. The firm manages over 1,800 residential units across 19 properties in Greater Boston neighborhoods including Dorchester, Roxbury, Mattapan, Jamaica Plain, Hyde Park, Roslindale, Charlestown, and East Boston, plus 164 condominium units across scattered sites and two commercial properties totaling approximately 335,000 square feet. Service offerings span property management, HOA/condominium management, commercial asset management, facilities and sustainability (including LEAN Multifamily energy efficiency programs), financial and asset management, regulatory compliance (HUD, LIHTC, Project-Based Section 8), and resident services delivered through the affiliated Neighborhood Network Center (NNC), a 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded in 1998. The underlying technology stack consists of third-party property management platforms RealPage and LoftLiving for resident portals, payment processing, and maintenance requests, with online rental application submission capabilities.

The client base is concentrated in affordable housing and consists primarily of nonprofit housing development corporations and community development entities, including VBCDC, Dorchester Bay Economic Development Corporation, Jamaica Plain Neighborhood Development Corporation, DVM Housing Partners, Planning Office for Urban Affairs, DREAM Collaborative, Urbanica, and NHP Foundation. Recent acquisitions financed via KeyBank (Boston Bay and Hope Bay, with $52.5 million total project costs and long-term HUD HAP contracts covering 100% of units) indicate the firm is expanding into direct asset ownership alongside its core third-party management business. The firm is the largest minority-owned property management company in Greater Boston, holds MBE/WBE certifications, and employs approximately 79 multilingual staff from diverse backgrounds.

Revenue is generated through negotiated property management fees charged to property owners and developers, with pricing structured individually based on property type, unit count, and service scope and not publicly disclosed. The go-to-market model is direct-to-client through relationship-based outreach to property owners, partnerships with housing development corporations, and reputation within the affordable housing sector, supported by professional association memberships (NEAHMA, NAHMA, MAA, Boston Chamber of Commerce) and a LinkedIn presence. Services are delivered directly by UHM Properties staff without reseller or third-party distribution channels.
