Sunburst Property Management

What Sunburst Property Management does

Sunburst Property Management is a privately held, family-owned property management company founded in 1981 and headquartered at 425 Business Park Lane, Allentown, Pennsylvania, operating in the Lehigh Valley region (Allentown, Bethlehem, and surrounding communities in Eastern Pennsylvania). The company manages both a residential apartment portfolio — Shane Hills, Hasting Apartment Homes, The Phoenix Building, and Belfry Flats — and a commercial portfolio spanning office, medical, warehouse, and mixed-use properties across 15+ assets and over 400,000 square feet. Single-tenant and end-customer relationships include iHeart Media (Sunburst Office Plaza/Whitehall Township), medical office tenants at the Warner Building in Center Valley, and broader commercial tenants across the Lehigh Valley.

The operational backbone is a property management software stack with three online portals: an Owner portal delivering financial statements, rent roll summaries, and expense reports; a 24/7 Maintenance portal for tenant request submission and tracking; and an Online Rent portal for residential payment and tracking. External service partnerships include CoreLogic Saferent for tenant screening and Transworld Systems/Fair Collections for receivables, with referral brokers (e.g., Concord Estates' Jacob Mayer) supporting select commercial leasing. The company is staffed by four full-time property managers, four licensed Pennsylvania real estate agents, and a broker of record, with supervisory staff carrying over 75 years of combined experience and maintenance staff over 100 years.

Revenue is generated through three streams: (1) recurring residential and commercial rental income from the owned/managed portfolio; (2) professional-services property management fees covering tenant placement, rent collection, maintenance coordination, financial reporting, property inspections, and lease enforcement; and (3) ancillary leasing-related fees. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, with monthly billing cadence on leases. The go-to-market is direct-to-consumer (phone, email, website listings), supplemented by Lehigh Valley Chamber of Commerce membership and recognition (past Excellence in Business Award winner) and IREM affiliation. A notable recent corporate action was the October 2025 divestiture of Sunburst Office Plaza in Whitehall Township for $5 million to Lehigh Crest LLC.
