History
Bianco Properties began in St. Louis, Missouri in 1956 as a general investment company. In 1969 the firm narrowed its focus to real estate and adopted its present corporate philosophy: that of investing for the long term in high quality investment properties. These include freestanding retail structures, shopping centers, industrial buildings, office buildings, raw land, and high-rise apartments. The Seattle office was opened in 1981.

On occasions Bianco Properties has taken a value-added investment approach in order to achieve a property’s value potential by turning around and revitalizing underutilized properties. With commercial properties, this has included renegotiating leases, arranging refinancing, renovating the physical facility, adding additional buildings and outlots, and in all instances, by intensive and caring property management.

Objectives
Bianco Properties’ objective is long-term ownership, equity appreciation and cash flow from high quality retail or industrial properties. Many of the income properties acquired or developed by Bianco Properties over the past fifty years are still a part of the portfolio today, and the average interval of ownership for the existing portfolio exceeds sixteen years. No mortgages have ever been in default. Most of the properties are owned by closely held LLC’s or Limited Partnerships for which the firm is the general/managing partner.
