Buchanan Partners was founded in 1998 and has grown to be the 11th most active commercial real estate developer in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area (according to the Washington Business Journal). Buchanan Partners has developed a portfolio of over three million square feet of commercial property. This portfolio includes office, industrial, flex and retail space projects that have been developed, acquired, approved, or under construction. Buchanan Partners also has acquired, planned or developed over 1,600 acres of commercial land.
Buchanan Partners' predecessor, Buchanan Companies, pioneered developments in the then-emerging markets of Herndon, Ballston, Frederick, and eastern Loudoun County. Following in these footsteps, Buchanan Partners has spearheaded the commercial development of emerging markets, including southern Loudoun County and western Prince William County. At the same time, Buchanan has fostered the successful market penetration of new product types such as flex/office condominiums. The firm’s pre-eminence in the marketplace has attracted the steadfast long-term support of high-caliber equity partners including Tishman Speyer Properties, Great Point Investors, Lennar/US Home, Global State Management B.V., Kao Investments, and Meritage Properties.
