Joel Friedland

Joel has a 43 year track record in industrial real estate. He co-founded Epic/Savage Realty Partners in 1991 where he oversaw hiring and mentoring 60 industrial real estate professionals, many of whom became his partners. His group sold the firm to an international real estate company in 2014 and Joel started Brit Properties.

As an industrial real estate broker and owner, Joel has secured over 2,000 industrial property leases and sales, totaling over $250 million in acquisitions. His greatest accomplishment is maintaining valued relationships with brokers, tenants and investors spanning five decades.

He does fully syndicated deals with 0% debt, an unheard of approach in real estate which caters to his wealthy investor base primarily concerned with conservation of principal. His experiences during the Great Recession in 2008 have informed his investment approach to be hyper-conservative while still allowing an ~8% cash return, plus upside, for his investors.

Joel attended the University of Michigan. He enjoys playing golf and spending time with his family, particularly his three young grandchildren.
