HOLLADAY PROPERTIES HAS GROWN AND DIVERSIFIED SINCE IT ORIGINALLY STARTED CONSTRUCTING SINGLE-FAMILY TRACT HOUSING. WHAT HAS ALLOWED HOLLADAY TO EFFECTIVELY EXPAND SINCE 1952?

From its beginning, Holladay Properties has operated with an entrepreneurial spirit. By creating and nurturing a team environment and thinking outside the box, Holladay has taken advantage of opportunities, and focused on quality construction and a commitment to the best in customer service in order to meet and exceed tenants' needs and expectations.

WHAT WOULD YOU CONSIDER TO BE HOLLADAY'S GREATEST VALUE TO TENANTS?

It is definitely the Holladay staff. Our staff is involved with all of our tenants. From the inception of a new building project through move-in, or the leasing of a space to a small start-up company, our focus is always the tenant's comfort and success, Our in-house services provide a full staff of trained professionals to care for tenants' needs--construction/design, maintenance, janitorial and grounds. The tenant's comfort is always our number one priority.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF BEING ASSOCIATED WITH IREM AS AN AMO FIRM?

Through our professional relationship with IREM, our staff has the opportunity to grow through the education and wealth of information available. The relationships developed in working with our peers in the real estate and property management field, and the shared experience and friendships developed and maintained through IREM chapters are an important part of our success.

THE CORE OF HOLLADAY PROPERTIES DEVELOPMENT IS LONG-TERM, MASTER-PLANNED COMMUNITIES. WHAT IS THE OUTLOOK FOR THESE MIXED-USE DEVELOPMENTS, GIVEN THE CURRENT ECONOMY?

Holladay has the ability to take advantage of what some might perceive as obstacles and offset those obstacles with our 50-plus years of experience. Mixed-use development means more consumers. With our history of success in industrial parks, medical facilities, commercial/office and residential sites, Holladay offers a proven track record built on our ability to bring developments to a successful completion. Holladay has been through several economic downturns in our industry. Through our leadership team and the commitment of our staff to providing the quality product and services we are known for, Holladay Properties looks forward to serving the needs of our community well into the future.

To earn the ACCREDITED MANAGEMENT ORGANIZATION (AMO) designation from IREM, a company must demonstrate a high level of performance, experience and financial stability, and have a CPM in an executive position. AMO firms must meet high ethical standards and other stringent requirements, proving their value to the industry.
