History

Since 1996, Phillip Philippou has developed a track record of successful real estate advisory consulting. Of particular note were Mr. Philippou’s successful string of 1031 exchange sales, purchases and subsequent financings. In addition, he excelled at creative joint venture structures, which have resulted in “win-win” situations, both for developers and property owners.

Phillip’s unique family office/high-net-worth clientele have resulted in him being able to act in a unique advisory-manager capacity where he was solely responsible for the restructuring and repositioning of legacy portfolios into the modern, cash-flowing asset base that you see today.

In the past 20 years, Phillip and Banyan have a proven track record in finance, management, lease-up, renovation and repositioning of assets to optimize value. All of Banyan’s value enhancement strategies have an eye towards high overall return on investment through thoughtful risk-adjusted and tax optimization strategies.
