The Kelemen Company

What The Kelemen Company does

The Kelemen Company is a privately held, community-focused commercial real estate investment, development, and property management firm headquartered at 19100 Von Karman Avenue, Suite 480, Irvine, California. Founded in 2017 by Tibor Kelemen — who previously grew Kelemen Camano Investments to $250 million in AUM in three years — the firm operates four integrated service lines: full-service property management (office, industrial, flex, and retail), asset management, construction management, and development & syndication. The company reports over 800,000 square feet of Orange County commercial real estate under management and a portfolio of investments approaching $250 million, anchored by trophy assets such as The Atrium (a 302,877 sqft LEED Gold office tower acquired for $106.75 million in 2018). Business is conducted on a sales-led, enterprise-field-sales basis targeting commercial property owners, accredited investors via syndication, and commercial tenants, with revenue generated through recurring management fees, asset management fees, construction management fees, development fees, and carried interest on syndicated deals. Top-of-funnel demand is generated through a free 125-point onsite engineering assessment (a normally $3,000+ service) and supported by broker relationships with Newmark, NorthMarq, Savills Studley, and The Agency. Operating geographies are concentrated in Southern California — particularly Orange County — with expansion activity in Malibu (38.47-acre coastline portfolio, 24.88-acre Trancas Parcel) and a Chicago project (The Hudson at 2222 S. Michigan Avenue). Recent strategic moves include a pivot toward large-scale residential development via the Kingsbarn co-development partnership (Terravita, 480 units, $300M+ estimated; Tustin Financial Plaza, 145 for-sale homes), leveraging capital partners rather than sole balance-sheet deployment. The firm employs 11–50 staff and has no disclosed AI/technology platform beyond a standard secure online portal for owners and tenants.
