Lincoln Property Joins Forces with Investment Firm

Dallas-based Lincoln Property Company announced the formation of a joint venture with retail investment firm Paragon Commercial Group. The partnership will allow Lincoln’s retail real estate investment management strategy to focus on institutional, retail assets on the West Coast. Paragon will serve as Lincoln’s West Coast Retail operator. 

In addition, Lincoln announced that Paragon co-founder Jim Dillavou will also assume the role of Lincoln’s National Head of Retail Real Estate Investments & Retail Capital Markets. In this role, Mr. Dillavou will be responsible for unifying Lincoln’s national Retail platform including Capital Markets, acquisitions, development, occupier and investor leasing, and third-party property management.

“This joint venture with Paragon underscores our belief in the growth of the retail sector as it gains popularity with institutional investors at levels we haven’t seen in over a decade,” Lincoln’s Clay Duvall and David Binswanger said, jointly.

Mr. Dillavou began his career as a real estate and finance attorney with Latham & Watkins.
