About Us

Established in 2000

5T Management is a leading property management firm in Chicago, distinguished by its holistic and innovative approach to real estate services. With a foundation built on sound business and real estate practices, we specialize in both property ownership and real estate development, offering an array of services designed to maximize property value and enhance the resident experience.


Our primary objective is straightforward but pivotal: to maximize the return on real estate investments while optimizing operational efficiency. As property owners ourselves, we understand the nuances and complexities of asset management from an owner's perspective. This experience informs our management programs and allows us to deliver services while reinforcing our owner-centric approach.


For our residents, the commitment runs deep. We prioritize quality, safety, and cleanliness, fostering living spaces that are not just well-managed, but also places residents are proud to call home. Through our responsive and strategic management style, we ensure that residents' needs are not just met, but exceeded, fortifying the trust that is crucial to sustaining vibrant communities.

Our suite of services, spanning from Marketing and Leasing to Financial Management, is designed to meet the needs of both property owners and tenants. This dual focus is evident in our comprehensive Tenant Management Services, which include features such as Residential Life Cycle Management, aimed at creating multiple touchpoints with tenants to keep them informed and empowered throughout their tenure.


Over the years, we've built strong alliances with various city departments and federal agencies. This enables us to successfully manage a diversified portfolio that includes market rate, low-income, LIHTC, PRA, NSP, and Project-Based Section 8 rental units. This expansive reach not only illustrates our versatility but also reflects our commitment to providing a spectrum of quality, affordable housing options.


By choosing 5T Management, you're not just selecting a property management service; you're engaging in a strategic partnership with a firm committed to enriching lives, revitalizing Chicago's diverse neighborhoods, and expertly managing your valuable asset for long-term growth and sustainability.
