UAS Properties was conceived in many ways by accident by a team of Stanford University students in 2000 in a dorm room in Palo Alto, CA. In an effort initially to secure off campus housing for post graduation life the team began acquiring small (two to four unit) apartment buildings in Oakland, Richmond and other Northern California communities. In less than a year the team owned a portfolio of nearly 30 rental units and that’s when it happened. An unsolicited offer came in for double what the team paid for a building less than a year prior. Enthusiastically the team sold the entire portfolio and rolled the gains into portfolios in Chicago, IL, Indianapolis, IN and Cincinnati, OH. Unable to find a management firm with the resources and capacity to manage their new portfolios (which were still some pretty small buildings) spread across the Midwest, UAS Properties was born. The goal was to manage the Principal’s personal investments and offer service to owners of small scattered site apartment buildings.Today, UAS Properties, Inc is a leading market rate and affordable housing leasing and property management firm. Officially, founded in 2001, UAS Properties has been involved in the management of over 800 scattered site units largely concentrated in depressed communities in the south east region of Chicago, IL. UAS clients include financial institutions, developers, private owners and other large management firms. UAS Properties, Inc currently employs a staff in excess of 40 professional property managers, leasing agents, maintenance and custodial staff as well as a full service in house accounting department. As an acknowledgement of its superior customer service, UAS Properties is the fastest growing private property management firm and the largest tenant placement firm on the south side of Chicago. UAS Properties was recently awarded the WGCI Radio Small Business of the Year Award.Specialties: LeasingTenant PlacementTenant ScreeningProperty ManagementRent CollectionEvictionsChicago Residential Landlord Tenant OrdinanceForclosuresREOs Recievership ManagementSection 8Subsidized Housing Management
