HSA|READ is the Acquisition/Development Division of HSA Commercial Real Estate. Although HSA has been involved with commercial development since the firm’s founding in 1981, to better delineate our development and acquisition efforts, HSA|READ was formed in 1996.

Since 1998, HSA|READ has acquired and developed 2,600 acres of property with a total consideration in excess of $500,000,000. HSA|READ is able to utilize all of the firm’s assets in the acquisition and development of real estate. Utilizing our in-house development expertise, (Property Management, Asset Management, Financial Analysis, Brokerage, and Construction), we are able to integrate the various specialties and identify profitable opportunities.

The focus of HSA|READ is as follows:

• The acquisition, rehabilitation, and repositioning of industrial and other commercial properties.
• The acquisition of existing income stream properties, primarily industrial.
• The acquisition of land and development for industrial and mixed use opportunities.
• Build-to-suit opportunities.

HSA|READ is comprised of a highly experienced group of individuals who have developed and acquired over 100 million square feet of retail, office, and industrial product in 43 states with a total consideration in excess of $6 billion.

The acquisition group has significant experience in the Chicago metropolitan area and other major markets throughout the country with numerous acquisitions and developments in North Carolina, South Carolina, Ohio, Indiana, Florida, Louisiana, Georgia,Tennessee, Kentucky, Missouri, Nebraska and Wisconsin.

HSA|READ is ideally positioned to take advantage of the national marketplace because of strong ties across the spectrum with lenders as well as with both national brokerage houses and strong local boutique brokerage houses. Recently, the firm has been concentrating on major metropolitan areas east of the Mississippi, primarily in the Midwest and Southeast.

HSA|READ is well-positioned to take benefit from new capital sources in the acquisitions and development of commercial real estate in both up and down market cycles.
