Why should Gladstone break the pattern? Because we have a different perspective. We see land and buildingsas part of a community, and because we live and work in the community, we recognized the value of long-terminvolvment with the properties we develop, lease, and manage. Our involvment takes the form of long-termasset management following development.

Gladstone Group I, Inc. markets, develops or acquires commercial properties, principally neighborhood retail centersand office environments.

In addition, our company offers a full range of real estate services - investment, leasing, management and sales.Because we do, our clients benefit in several ways.

Investor clients, especially small investors, who have made a five to ten year commitment of funds to a development,benefit from the security of our on-going management of their investment. We are as concerned, and continuing to add,value to their asset.

Property Owner clients benefit, too. Because we specialize in properties for the smaller investors, we understand their needs.With the 24-hour management we provide, they never have to wonder how they will get plumbing fixed or whether the facade will everbe painted or how to keep a roof leak from damaging valuable inventory. Our ability to fill vacancies has been proven time after time.

In many situations we represent tenants and buyers looking to fulfill their real estate goals also - our market knowledge andnegotiating skills are invaluable tools benefiting these clients.
