BLD Companies brings commercial real estate brokerage, property management, strategy, marketing and construction management together to help owners make better decisions throughout the life of a property.
BLD Companies is a full-service commercial real estate brokerage, property management and construction management firm serving Metro Detroit and Southeast Michigan.
Our approach grew from a simple reality: commercial properties rarely have just one need. A building may need to be leased, renovated, repositioned, marketed, managed or sold — and those decisions often affect one another.
Rather than treating brokerage, property operations and construction as separate conversations, BLD Companies looks at the property as a whole.
Traditional real estate brokerage often focuses on the transaction: list the property, find the tenant, locate the buyer or complete the sale.
Those things matter. But what happens before and after the transaction can matter just as much.
How is the property positioned? Does the space need to be improved? Is the tenant mix working? Could the building be marketed differently? Would targeted improvements make it easier to lease or sell?
BLD Companies approaches those questions together, connecting real estate decisions with the physical property and the owner's larger objectives.
BLD Companies is led by Brian DiBartolomeo, whose experience spans commercial real estate, property management, leasing, property marketing, renovation and redevelopment.
That experience has included working with properties through different stages of their life cycle — from acquisition and leasing to management, rehabilitation, repositioning and sale.

We believe good real estate decisions begin with understanding what you actually own, what the market needs and what can realistically be done.
Sometimes the answer is to sell. Sometimes it is to lease. Sometimes a building needs better marketing, new management, targeted improvements or an entirely new direction.
Our job is to help identify that direction and, when appropriate, help carry it through.
