A COMMUNITY DRIVEN PROCESS
Internal ACQUISITION teams
LEE Group leverages its vertically integrated platform to execute value-add strategies and deliver strong risk-adjusted returns. Through the alignment of in-house property operations, development expertise, and asset management capabilities, the firm is able to maintain an efficient cost structure and drive disciplined execution across the investment lifecycle. This integrated approach enhances underwriting precision, operational efficiency, and decision-making from acquisition through stabilization.
PROJECT APPROVALS TEAMS
LEE Group prioritizes public-private partnership and early, transparent engagement with local stakeholders to advance sustainable, context-sensitive developments that align with community goals. The firm believes successful project approvals are achieved through thoughtful outreach, clear communication, and a well-defined narrative that demonstrates each project’s value to both the jurisdiction and the end user. This approach has supported a strong entitlement track record across Utah, Nevada, Oregon, and California, including subdivision approvals, general plan and zoning amendments, adaptive reuse initiatives, and commercial-to-multifamily housing conversions.
DEVELOPMENT DESIGN COORDINATION
LEE Group maintains an active leadership role throughout the full design and preconstruction process, from initial unit planning and site strategy through permit approval and construction readiness. Following a rigorous due diligence process, the firm assembles and manages a carefully selected team of architects, engineers, and consultants to deliver coordinated, buildable drawing packages that align design intent with project economics. By working closely with the general contractor and key subcontractors during design development, LEE Group is able to refine scope, enhance constructability, and preserve architectural quality while maintaining disciplined cost control. This integrated approach supports efficient execution, reduces friction during delivery, and strengthens overall asset performance.
CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT
LEE Group takes an active construction management role throughout the execution phase, overseeing budget, schedule, quality, and team coordination from mobilization through completion. The firm works in close partnership with general contractors, design professionals, and subcontractors to maintain alignment between project objectives, construction progress, and financial performance. Through consistent oversight, proactive problem-solving, and disciplined cost management, LEE Group helps reduce delivery risk, improve execution efficiency, and protect overall asset value.
ASSET MANAGEMENT
Lima Echo’s asset management platform is structured to pair experienced in-house oversight with specialized third-party operating partners across each asset class. For hospitality assets, the firm partners with Aimbridge Hospitality; Greystar for multifamily, and Utah Nonprofit Housing Corporation for affordable assets. This model allows Lima Echo to align each property with best-in-class operational expertise while maintaining direct ownership-level involvement in strategy, performance, and long-term value creation.
Internally, Lima Echo’s management team leads retail, studio, and office leasing while providing active asset management oversight across the broader portfolio.
