About us
Insight - Planning - Action
The insights and skills we bring to this process are the result of more than 30 years in real estate. But the roots of our commitment are born of a love of buildings and cities . It was clear what path would be taken very early on. As Asher Bristol approaches it's 20th year, we reflect on our accomplishments, and our yet unrealized goals and adventures. We established the company to acquire quality assets for our own portfolio and for our client partners as well as to offer creative and insightful real estate solutions to developers, investors, tenants and brokers.
There is a permanence in this work, an enduring and impactful influence on our society. Care must be taken in our choices of locations, uses, and style specifically because of the long term impact our choices will have on our businesses, investments and our community.
Real Estate : It is a financial instrument. It is a means of growing wealth in a way unique among the alternatives. But it is also so much more. We work here, live here, learn here, play here. Real estate is “place”. It is the place where things are made. It is a place where we collaborate and develop ideas. “The workplace” has iconic meaning to us; evoking images of industry, production and prosperity. It is a place where we feel connected, and inspired.
These are the things that create the value attributed to real estate. As “place” the concept of “location, location, location” is born. We are talking about where things happen!
Real Estate is not static. It is always changing. Technology and other changes in society change the way we use space; the way we need space and the way we think about space. A keen eye on the property, the marketplace as well as on the horizon, is necessary to maintain and grow real estate interests.
This is why we call ourselves Asher Bristol Real Estate Solutions. This is why we are here, working with investors, companies, people who have goals, problems and requirements in the broad, complex world of real estate.
The Art of Listening
Our guiding principle is the art of listening. We can be creative, aggressive, and diligent. However, unless your goals are being achieved the effort has no meaning.
Your goals direct our actions. We can make suggestions and offer the insights of our experiences to help order and define the goals but it will be your agenda for the property that will provide the framework for our business plan.
