In 2024, we proved that scale and service excellence aren't enemies - they're allies. While growing to manage 1000+ units across 70 buildings, we showed that hands-on excellence actually enables growth.
Key achievements that made this possible:
• Expanded to 1000+ units while maintaining personal service
• Successfully managed major crises including a winter boiler explosion
• Added strategic acquisitions including 90 units in Kilbourn Park/Avondale
• Emerged as industry thought leader through speaking engagements
• Completed my 30th marathon while raising $52,000 for cancer research

To our residents, team members - some who've been with us for nearly 20 years - and investment partners who've trusted us since 2002: thank you for being part of this journey.
Looking ahead: Our focus remains on strategic growth while maintaining the hands-on excellence that has defined Drexel Properties for 22 years. We'll continue expanding our management services while staying true to our core belief: great property management is about building great relationships.
