About

Who We Are

The Building Management Company was founded in 2008 as a full-service, vertically integrated development, construction, and management company. As BMC grew and evolved it established BMC Property Management as a stand-alone entity in 2017. BMC PM is one of the area’s most unique property management firms with over 50 properties and approximately 250,000 square feet under management. Our portfolio includes an assortment of commercial, mixed-use, industrial, and residential properties. We steward single-family units, student apartments, medical and legal offices, along with retail and restaurant spaces. We are also proud to be the facilities manager for the historic Paramount Theater on the Downtown Mall. The success of BMC PM is built on three core values – honesty, consistency, and responsiveness. On this strong foundation, we create long-lasting relationships with our tenants, owners, and vendors.
