Athenian Properties Named One of Philadelphia's Fastest-Growing Companies
Athenian Properties LLC, a real estate consulting firm specializing in property management, redevelopment and construction management, has been named one of the 100 fastest-growing privately held companies in the Philadelphia region.
Founded in 2001, Athenian has grown at an average rate of over 50% per year.
Athenian's main office is in an efficient, historic, renovated downtown building, 833 Chestnut Street in Philadelphia, former home of Gimbel's department store. Jackie Buhn, founder and president of Athenian Properties, shepherded the building from foreclosure in 1998, and Athenian manages it today.
Athenian's current focus is in turning around foreclosed commercial buildings. The company promises to double, if not triple, the value of one Virginia mall-turned-office-building this year. Athenian also plans to invest directly in distressed properties.
