Blanton Turner – Home
Hi, We’re Blanton Turner,
and We Take
Commercial Spaces
to the Next Level.
Unique Properties Have Unique Needs.
Blanton Turner isn’t a one-size fits all management company. We work with our clients to determine what we collectively want to measure, and then we develop systems to track it.
Managing A Mix of Properties.
What we do is manage multifamily, office, retail, mixed-use, and student housing properties in addition to some unusual and complex assets that can be a head-scratcher for other firms.
What we don’t do is approach properties with a blanket approach template. Buildings are like people after all – each with their own personality, challenges, objectives and opportunities.

Headquartered In Seattle’s Historic Pioneer Square, We’re Not Only Passionate About Managing Properties in the PNW, We Live Here Too.
We’re proud of our PNW roots. Founded in 2011, Blanton Turner’s principals came from a legendary Seattle development and management firm with a long-term hold mindset. While we transitioned from in-house leaders to third-party managers, we never lost the ability to deeply understand the needs of ownership. We think like owners, and have hired and trained individuals who, at their core, care about the assets they manage as if they were their own. Based in Seattle, Blanton Turner partners with Pacific Northwest property owners with an emphasis on Seattle Metro, western Washington and Oregon communities.
