Unico Properties Vice President and Market Leader Stepping Down
Austin Kane, vice president and market leader at Unico Properties LLC, has announced that he will step down from his role effective June 30, 2022. Kane has been with Unico since 2013 and currently directs and executes leasing strategies for real estate portfolios in the Colorado and Utah markets.
“My time with Unico has been such a special period in my life and for my family,” said Kane. “I am incredibly proud of how we’ve built out Unico’s portfolio in these markets and particularly grateful for the opportunities to become involved in the communities we serve. I will always be thankful to Unico for the opportunity to be a part of such a talented and dedicated team. My friendships at Unico and love for the company will far outlive my tenure.”
Over Kane’s tenure, Unico has grown into one of Colorado’s largest office landlords, with a portfolio of properties totaling nearly 3 million square feet. An established leader in the Denver community, Kane served as chairman of the Downtown Denver Business Improvement District and the Denver Metro Association of REALTORS. He currently serves on the Downtown Denver Partnership’s Denver Civic Ventures Board of Directors and Upper Downtown Task Force.
“Austin has helped Unico build a foundation in Colorado that leaves us incredibly well-positioned for continued growth and long-term investing in the market,” said Unico Senior Vice President and Market Leader Andrew Cox. “We will miss his leadership and spirit and wish him nothing but the best as we look forward to the next chapter for Unico in Colorado and beyond.”
A fully integrated commercial real estate investment, management, and development company and leader in sustainable design and construction, Unico will launch a search for its next Colorado market leader in the coming weeks. The Market Leader role at Unico serves as the local head of leasing, market intelligence sourcing, and community involvement in each of its core markets.
“With a talented, dedicated property management team supporting our Colorado properties, Unico’s future in this market is incredibly strong,” said Dawn Moore, manager of leasing and marketing at Unico. “We look forward to bringing on a market leader who will build upon Austin’s legacy and continue to grow Unico’s presence.”
