A plan is not enough. You need dynamic people to pull it off.
Our leadership team and each of our 200 employees makes a habit of delighting - even surprising - our clients and tenants by exceeding their expectations...That's why we say, "our inventory goes down the elevator each night."
We're in the people business, not the space business.
You can't thrive within the boom or bust nature of this business unless you are an innovator. Our business model is more than innovative ... it's what sets us apart.

The Elmhurst business model is highly innovative. Through use of strategic alliances and outsourcing, Elmhurst minimizes the negative boom/bust nature of the real estate investment business.
The key to Elmhurst's success has been a branding strategy used to differentiate Elmhurst from its competitors. Long before Web sites were popular, Elmhurst developed a Web site that focused on the Elmhurst organization as opposed to the traditional depiction of owned and managed properties. All Elmhurst properties are identified with unique signage designed to link Elmhurst to the physical property.
Elmhurst also has a strong customer orientation. Customers are periodically surveyed . Elmhurst views their tenants as partners and holds numerous retreats and management meetings to explore emerging tenant needs. As representative of their customer culture, Elmhurst considers itself to be in the people business and not the space business.
Finally, reflecting the adage of all successful professional service firms, "our inventory goes down the elevator each night," Elmhurst takes particular pride in its employees. In addition to their technical competence, employees of Elmhurst have a shared vision. Every employee of Elmhurst - from the receptionist to the president - can articulate the core vision of Elmhurst. All employees are included in company retreats and planning meetings.
With our business model and opportunistic strategy, one constant is flexibility. Whether we continue development of office parks or seek new niches, Elmhurst plans to provide superior customer service. And we will continue to look for those properties that provide opportunities for us to differentiate ourselves.
