The Ashtin Group takes commercial building management to the highest level by incorporating the award-winning AKAM Living Services approach to exceptional residential management into our work on behalf of commercial building Owners. Since 1983, the AKAM family of real estate service companies - of which The Ashtin Group is a member - has been proud to manage New York residential clients with such prestigious addresses as Central Park West, Fifth Avenue, and West End Avenue, and to South Florida luxury associations bearing such names as Trump and Dezer. With a stellar history in white-glove residential management, The Ashtin Group brings a unique approach to commercial property management. Our focus is foremost on creating and maintaining commercial buildings that epitomize first-class quality. Experience has proven time and again that offering exceptional value is the surest way to attract and retain first-class tenants. We believe that when a building can provide genuine excellence, the most desirable tenants will always come. For example, we believe that tenants want to come to work each day in a building that sparkles inside and out, that provides mechanical elements that run smoothly and reliably, that employs staff who take pride in their work, and that is operated by knowledgeable, respectful, and responsible management. Additionally, we are proud of the creative concepts we bring to each assignment. Recognizing that the most valuable commodity an Owner has to offer is space, The Ashtin Group specializes in identifying and maximizing the potential of underutilized space. We consistently deliver innovative ideas for maximum space utilization and leasing in every building we manage. The Ashtin Group's commitment to performance excellence is demonstrated through the required ongoing in-service training and education of our Management Executives and other in-house professionals who serve our valued clients. Our internal business structure provides incentives to these professionals to seek industry and other certifications in order to ensure the most knowledgeable, most expert delivery of services.

Since The Ashtin Group assumed management of the building owned by The American Musical and Dramatic Academy and The Gateway School, the building’s fire pump project has been completed, the boiler has been repaired, a comprehensive annual evaluation has been prepared, staff issues have been resolved, alternative resident parking has been negotiated, a protective sidewalk shed has been erected, and a full roof replacement and Local Law 11 façade restoration are underway. A few years ago when I became President of the commercial condominium where my business is located, we were faced with several large renovation projects and it became clear that we needed a more experienced managing agent to handle these important undertakings. I immediately thought of Leslie and brought him in to manage the building, and I am pleased to say that The Ashtin Group and AKAM continue to deliver a higher level of service and quality than other managing agents."
