Davenport Partners is a real estate investment firm focused on acquisition and management of commercial properties in the western United States, primarily in Southern California and Hawaii. The company is comprised of principals who were former partners, officers and shareholders of Spieker Properties (NYSE: SPK). While at Spieker, the principals were responsible for acquiring and developing over 80 properties in Southern California, consisting of nearly 12 million square feet and $1.5 billion in project cost. Spieker merged with Equity Office Properties (NYSE: EOP) in July 2001. Davenport Partners was subsequently formed in 2002 and since then has acquired numerous commercial properties. The successful repositioning, leasing, management and, in certain cases, sale of these properties has resulted in significant profit to its investors.
