Our History
Security Properties was
founded by Paul Pfleger in 1969 to assist clients in managing their
growing tax burdens through HUD-sponsored affordable housing
investment programs. By the middle of the 1980s, the firm had a
portfolio of more than 375 multifamily properties and a network of
thousands of private investors. At the end of 1986, Congress
amended the tax code, effectively ending the firm's syndication
activities. Mr. Pfleger recruited new management to pursue new
investment ventures, including utility metering services,
telecommunications, and cable television. As these investments were
liquidated, the firm refocused on growing its multifamily
portfolio.
By 2000, Mr. Pfleger entered semi‐retirement and a new management
team was recruited to commence acquisition and development
operations and assume responsibility for the existing portfolio of
affordable assets. The end of 2010 marked the formation of Security
Properties Residential, an affiliated property management company,
to resume Security Properties’ property management function and
complement its asset management practices.
