What Hunington Properties does

Hunington Properties, Inc. is a privately held, Houston-based commercial real estate firm founded in 1984 by Sandy P. Aron that delivers a full-service platform spanning investment sales, leasing, tenant advisory, property management, and ground-up development across the retail and multifamily sectors. The company operates from three Texas offices (Houston headquarters, Austin regional office opened in 2010, and a Dallas-area office in Richardson), and is increasingly extending retail development and brokerage activity into Florida. Service lines are organized around five core pillars: Investment Sales (acquisition and disposition of multi-tenant retail centers, single-tenant net-lease assets, and portfolios); Leasing (retail and commercial landlord and tenant representation); Tenant Advisory (site selection and lease negotiation for tenants including franchisees and national credit tenants such as Starbucks, T-Mobile, and Chick-fil-A); Property Management (third-party management of more than 150 retail properties plus multifamily communities through the Hunington Residential arm); and Development (ground-up retail centers and multifamily apartment communities). The firm lists properties through industry platforms Crexi, CoStar, and LoopNet, uses RentManager as its tenant payment portal, and maintains a dedicated investor-relations practice targeting Middle Eastern and North African institutional capital.

The business model is overwhelmingly transaction- and fee-based, with revenue generated from leasing commissions, investment-sales commissions, property-management fees, development fees and promote, and tenant-advisory retainers. The company reports having signed more than 3,600 leases in five years and a 75% repeat-business rate, and it manages over 150 third-party retail properties alongside its multifamily portfolio. Ownership is concentrated in the founding Aron family (Sandy P. Aron as President, with Jonathan Aron and Jeffrey Aron in principal and SVP roles), and the company has no disclosed institutional investors, parent company, or external funding. No proprietary technology platform or AI-driven products are offered; the technology stack is composed of third-party CRE listing, data, and property-management software, and the firm differentiates primarily through long-tenured broker relationships, embedded Houston and Texas market knowledge accumulated over four decades, and a vertically integrated retail-plus-multifamily development pipeline.
