Blanton Turner – Facilities Properties
Hello! Thanks for Visiting!
We’re Blanton Turner, a people-focused property management company. We’re relationship builders, communicators and connectors. We like other people! That’s our superpower.
At BT, A Challenge
Is An Opportunity.
What we do is manage facilities, office, mixed-use, multi-family 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 one-size-fits-all template. Buildings are like people after all – each with their own personality, challenges, objectives and opportunities.
Our Strategies Are the RX
for Facilities Headaches.
Every building deserves a fresh and creative approach. We craft a custom strategy for each property we manage, tailored to owner objectives and targeted to maximize value. Onsite, we leverage technology to take care of process-driven tasks, so our team can do what they do best: create places where people want to be.
We keep our eyes on the details and support seamless, hassle-free operations for companies who own and occupy their own facilities.

BT’s facilities management team creates environments where pre-schoolers, sushi artists and WNBA athletes can focus on learning and growing in healthy, efficient and people-centric spaces.
We Create Experiences that Owners From Uwajimaya to the Seattle Storm Can’t Live Without
Every day when we get to work, we slip into our clients’ shoes and take a look around. How could the building be improved? What is distracting the people IN the building from their daily tasks? What can we do beyond taking care of the physical space to help our clients succeed? We do love a success story.
Blanton Turner often begins our facilities management relationships when a client chooses to focus on their business and not on the building that they own and occupy, or sometimes, the building that they lease from others. We start with the usual management tasks but as our relationship grows, we become a partner that creates exceptional experiences – from accounting to technology management to occupancy simplicity.
Blanton Turner:
A Management Easy Button
Running an organization is enough work. Let us take care of you, your team and the property you occupy. The BT crew is driven by two words: responsiveness and proactiveness. We keep a sharp eye on building maintenance and systems engineering to keep things humming along happily. After all, no one likes an unpleasant and unexpected, wallet- and people-impacting “surprise.” No one.
Commissioning and
Capital Project Management Too.
Sometimes we help our clients by commissioning new buildings, ensuring that every detail is considered. And sometimes we dig into properties where the details could, shall we say, use a bit of detailing! From updating existing properties to newly purchased assets needing makeovers, we’re pros at efficient capital project management.lity, challenges, objectives and opportunities.
BT managed to keep commercial spaces open with every-day business flowing in the grocery store and food court during Uwajimaya's total renovation of their flagship store in Seattle’s International District.

Where Do We Make
Magic Happen?
Today and In the Future.
We’ve always been PNW People. Washington and Oregon have been our stomping ground since the founding of Blanton Turner in 2011. But as our clients explore opportunities in other states, we’re finding ourselves trying on new monikers: Californians, Arizonans, Coloradans and other exciting new titles. After all, fun people deserve fun titles, no?
Blanton Turner’s managed
properties today represent
a portfolio of over
$3.2 billion.
Commercial, Multi-Family, Student Housing and Unusual Properties Too.
While a number of our clients know us for our facilities management talents, they may not realize that we manage commercial buildings, student housing, mixed-use properties and multi-family communities too!
COMMERCIAL PROPERTIES
With a 1.3 million square foot portfolio of commercial office, retail and unusual properties, we create exceptional experiences from tenants and owners – from Amazon to Brooks (running company).

STUDENT HOUSING
From grad student housing to suites geared to new college kids and their nervous parents, we’ve managed the rainbow of student housing. We’ve had our higher education, you might say. Learn more.
Have a commercial office building, an energetic student housing community, or are you thinking about diving into the rewards of multi-family madness? Give us a call. We’d love to help.
Let’s Create Value Together.
We’re looking forward to building a partnership with you. Let’s talk!
