About Us
Ludlow Property Group (“LPG”) was formed in 2023 for the purpose of executing value-add real estate strategies in supply-constrained leisure markets, with an initial focus on mountain towns in Colorado and the mountain west. We are focused on self-storage and other essential real estate in high-barrier-to-entry submarkets with strong demand fundamentals.
Our competitive edge lies in our creativity and our “ear to the ground” approach. With diligent research + proprietary data collection in opaque markets and detailed financial analysis, our investment process is complemented by a proactive and entrepreneurial spirit. We have a strong ability to recognize potential and unearth opportunities to create value, while being prudent with our capital and highly selective with the deals we execute.
With extensive market knowledge and over 37 combined years of institutional experience, we are poised to achieve meaningful returns for our partners.
