Commercial Property Management in Charleston and Across South Carolina

Urban Core Realty provides third-party management for retail, office, and mixed-use properties across South Carolina — from a single building to a multi-property portfolio — through CoreManage, our proprietary management platform, with a hands-on standard of care at every level.

CoreManage centralizes lease administration, maintenance workflows, vendor management, and financial reporting, so our managers spend their time where it matters: on-site, with tenants, and in direct contact with ownership. Owners see the same information we do, in real time, through the owner portal.

When an asset needs it, our brokerage and leasing services work alongside management under one team.

What we manage

Retail, office, and mixed-use properties

Retail & shopping centers

Neighborhood centers, strip retail, and freestanding retail. Tenant mix, CAM administration, and common-area upkeep are handled with the customer-facing standard the property depends on.

Office

Single- and multi-tenant office buildings. Lease administration, building systems, and tenant service requests run through one platform, with reporting the owner can act on.

Mixed-use & multi-tenant

Properties that combine retail, office, or other uses under one roof, where different lease structures and expense allocations have to be reconciled correctly.

Markets served

Across South Carolina, from the Lowcountry to the Upstate

Headquartered on Daniel Island, we manage retail, office, and mixed-use properties throughout the Charleston metro and in markets across the state. Inspections, tenant meetings, and vendor walk-throughs happen in person, wherever the property is.

Owner statements and monthly property reports
Tenant security deposits held in escrow, by tenant
Maintenance requests, with owner approval on items over $500
Upcoming lease events: rent increases, renewal options, expirations

Getting started

How a transition works

1

Property review

We review the rent roll, leases, operating history, and any open issues, then walk the property with you. The proposal and fee are based on what we find.

2

Handover

We collect leases, financials, vendor contracts, deposits, and keys from you or the prior manager, and load everything into CoreManage.

3

Notification

Tenants and vendors receive written notice of the change, new payment instructions, and a direct contact on our team.

4

First reporting cycle

Your owner portal is live from day one. The first full financial package is typically delivered within the first month.

Owner questions

Frequently asked questions

What types of commercial property does Urban Core Realty manage?
Retail and shopping centers, office buildings, and mixed-use or multi-tenant properties. We manage single buildings and multi-property portfolios.
Which markets do you serve?
Markets across South Carolina. We are headquartered on Daniel Island and manage properties throughout the Charleston metro (Charleston, Mount Pleasant, North Charleston, Summerville, Daniel Island), as well as Myrtle Beach and the Grand Strand, Columbia, Greenville, and Beaufort, Bluffton, and Hilton Head.
How are management fees structured?
Fees are scaled to the property's size, tenant count, and scope of services, and structured so that our compensation is tied to the asset's performance. We quote each property individually after reviewing the rent roll and operating history. Request a proposal to get a quote for your property.
What can owners see in the owner portal?
Monthly proceeds for each property (rents and CAM collected, expenses, management fee, and net proceeds), owner statements and reports, tenant security deposits held in escrow, open maintenance items including any awaiting your approval, and upcoming lease events such as rent increases and renewal options.
Do you handle CAM reconciliation?
Yes. We administer common-area maintenance and other recoverable expenses under each lease, prepare annual reconciliations, and handle tenant billing and questions.
How does a transition from another property manager work?
We collect leases, financials, vendor contracts, and deposits from the prior manager, load the property into CoreManage, notify tenants and vendors, and typically run the first full reporting cycle within the first month. See the steps above.
Will you manage a property you did not lease or sell?
Yes. Third-party management is a standalone service. Brokerage and leasing are available but not required.
Is there a minimum property size?
No fixed minimum. We evaluate each property on its own; small multi-tenant buildings and larger portfolios are both a fit.
How are delinquent tenants handled?
Collections follow the lease and a written escalation schedule, with owners kept informed at each step. When legal action is necessary, we coordinate with the owner's counsel.
Do you manage vendors and insurance requirements?
Yes. We source and supervise vendors, verify insurance certificates for vendors and tenants, and track coverage requirements under each lease.
