Cadillac Fairview (CF) is pleased to announce it has acquired Lincoln Property Company’s Residential Division (Lincoln Residential). Today’s announcement represents the completion of a carefully planned transition that started in 2019 when CF first acquired a 49% interest in the business to support and grow multifamily property operations and investments across the United States. Mack Pogue, who founded Lincoln Property Company in 1965, and Tim Byrne, Lincoln Residential’s retiring CEO, have retained a 5% interest in the business.

“The closing of this transaction marks the beginning of a new era for both companies,” said John Sullivan, President and CEO, Cadillac Fairview. “For the past five years Cadillac Fairview has been actively focused on growing and diversifying its global real estate portfolio with best-in-class partners, and since collaborating with Lincoln Residential in 2019 we’ve had tremendous success, which speaks to the strong collaboration between our leadership teams.”

Based in Canada, CF manages the global real estate portfolio for Ontario Teachers’ Pension Plan, managing in excess of $40 billion of assets across the Americas, Europe and Asia.

Under the leadership of Mack Pogue and Tim Byrne, Lincoln Residential has grown to be one of the largest multifamily operators in the United States with more than 4500 employees. In 2019 Lincoln and CF co-sponsored a long-term investment program focused on the development and acquisition of high quality multifamily assets in top U.S. markets. To date, Lincoln Residential has completed over $1.5 billion of acquisitions and has another $2 billion under development, with significant planned expansion of this program.

Leadership Team Changes

As part of the acquisition and in preparation for the company’s strategic growth plans, Duncan Osborne is succeeding Tim Byrne as CEO, who has held the position since 1984. Duncan joins Lincoln Residential with more than 25 years of experience in real estate, investment and commercial transactions. He most recently served as Executive Vice President, Investments with CF where he led the firm’s international business and spearheaded the partnership with Lincoln Residential.

“I am humbled and excited by the responsibility to lead Lincoln Residential on this new journey,” said Duncan. “Lincoln Residential’s client-first reputation and excellence in property management is a testament to the strength of our people and sets us up for a bright future. In partnership with senior leadership, we will develop a thoughtful, people-led strategy to support and grow our property management operations and our clients, while expanding our development and investment program to position us for long-term success.”

In support of the company’s growth strategy, Lincoln Residential is pleased to announce additional changes to its senior executive team.

Jeff Courtwright has assumed the new role of President, National Development. Jeff joined the company in 1996 and led the growth of the Southwest Region for the last 26 years as Executive Vice President. In this new role, Jeff will lead Lincoln Residential’s development program nationally and oversee program strategy, resourcing and execution to scale the company’s portfolio.
