Plante Moran, a certified public accounting, tax, consulting and wealth management firm with Midwest locations in Michigan, Ohio and Illinois, has joined its two real-estate-related affiliated entities with the launch of Plante Moran Realpoint.
This new entity brings together more than 125 multidisciplinary real estate professionals in eight states from Plante Moran Cresa and Plante Moran Real Estate Investment Advisors (REIA), while also extending its real estate advisory and transaction services to the firm’s clients.
“Plante Moran Realpoint combines the expertise of our two great real estate advisory teams and allows clients across the country to experience our full range of services through one entity,” said Bill Lichwalla, president and chief executive officer of Plante Moran Realpoint.
“Amicably decoupling from our former partner Cresa and moving forward as Plante Moran Realpoint supports our expansion goals by aligning with Plante Moran’s footprint, industry specialization and client service strategy. We are grateful for the relationships developed over the last 25 years with our many friends at Cresa and wish them well.”
Plante Moran Realpoint brings together comprehensive, end-to-end services and deep industry specialization in corporate, public sector, healthcare, religious institutes and senior living spaces as well as in development and mixed-use projects.
This expansion provides an opportunity for the two commercial real estate teams to reorganize internally, bringing Plante Moran REIA’s development consulting, transaction management and religious institute services under the Plante Moran Realpoint name. Plante Moran REIA’s asset management services will remain in a separate entity named Plante Moran Realpoint Investment Advisors. The Plante Moran Living Forward brand will still be the face of Plante Moran Realpoint’s senior living development advisory practice.
