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.
