Chicago Property Management Built by an Investor, for Investors.
Altus Property Partners was founded in 2016 with a simple belief: property management should be transparent, technology-enabled, and genuinely invested in the communities it serves.
We Started as Investors. We Built the Firm We Wished Existed.
Altus Property Partners was founded in 2016 by Kevin Dugan, a Chicago-based real estate investor who grew frustrated with the property management industry lack of transparency, accountability, and genuine partnership.
Starting with a handful of units and a commitment to doing things differently, Altus has grown to manage 650 units across Chicago — including 24 active HOA and condo associations, multifamily buildings, and single-family rental portfolios.
Today, Altus operates with a 16-person team combining Chicago-based senior property managers with a global operations team — giving every client more touchpoints, faster response times, and consistent communication that most management companies cannot deliver.
What We Stand For.
Investor-First Thinking
Our founder is an active real estate investor. Every decision is filtered through an owner's lens — not just a property manager's checklist.
Technology as Infrastructure
We use technology to create more human connection, not less. Automation handles the routine so our team can focus on the relationships that matter.
Community as Purpose
We are not just managing properties. We are stewarding communities. Every HOA board, every building, every resident is part of a neighborhood we care about.
Radical Transparency
You see every vendor bid. Every financial report. Every maintenance photo. No markups without disclosure. No surprises on your statement.
More Than a Property Management Company.
Altus is part of a broader network of real estate and property services companies, all operating under the same philosophy: invest in the community, operate with transparency, and build for the long term.
