Tiano & Associates is a family-owned commercial real estate and property management firm headquartered at 175 S. Third Street in Columbus, Ohio, with a stated heritage dating to 1982 and "over 35 years of experience."

Tiano (Vice President, Property Management), and Donna L. Brown (Office Manager). The firm owns and manages a portfolio of downtown Columbus commercial properties, anchored by the 13-floor 175 On The Park building (217,000 sq. ft. of office and retail) and the Washington & Engler building (2,000 sq. ft. remaining of leasable office space), and has previously developed or sold additional projects including the URS Building (sold to the Central Ohio Transit Authority) and international developments in Thessaloniki, Greece (Venizelou Commons) and Tel-Aviv, Israel (Florentine Commons).

The firm delivers an integrated stack of real estate services: sales and leasing, development, architectural and interior design (delivered via partnerships with MidOhio Design, Star Consultants, and Nala Design Services), property management covering tenant selection, maintenance, and expense optimization, plus general property maintenance with 24/7 crews and daily cleaning. Its only disclosed technology is an online property management portal providing secure client access to manage properties remotely.

Tiano & Associates operates a sales-led, direct-relationship go-to-market targeting commercial property owners, real estate investors, and business tenants in the Greater Columbus area, with a stated emphasis on personalized, high-touch service. Revenue is generated across multiple streams: rental income from owned commercial properties (recurring), managed services fees for third-party property owners, professional services fees for sales/leasing transactions, and consulting fees for downtown real estate acquisition strategy. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The firm is privately held, family-controlled, and has no institutional investors, funding rounds, or public financial disclosure.
