Over the past 50 years, Lowe has acquired, developed or managed over $32 billion of real estate assets. Lowe maintains offices in Los Angeles, Oakland, San Diego, Santa Ana, Charleston, Denver, Seattle and Washington, DC. Lowe uncovers and delivers value beyond what might be expected from a traditional real estate company.

We value collaboration and partnership with others, welcoming new ideas and perspectives. Lowe is committed not to a single service, property type or location, but to mastering the process of building value in real estate. We develop, we invest, and we manage. We create commercial, hotel, multifamily and retail properties. Often, we get the opportunity to combine all these skills to create a new mixed-use environment.

Through our foundation of steadfast values and innovative real estate services we strive to bridge meaningful and positive human experiences with financial performance. We tailor our approach to the needs of each asset and the goals of each partner and find opportunity in complex challenges.
