a brief history of
brookline asset management
Brookline Asset Management was founded on a simple but powerful idea: oversized, underutilized bank branches scattered across the country could be reimagined into dynamic, multi-tenant assets which generate long-term value for financial institutions, investors, and communities alike.
Our story began in 2017, when Brookline Branch LLC acquired its first portfolio. As the digital transformation of banking accelerated, we recognized that banks needed more than just real estate solutions—they needed strategic partners who understood the operational, financial, and regulatory nuances of the industry.
Over the following years, we executed a series of sale-leaseback transactions with BMO Bank N.A., acquiring 33 branches across the upper Midwest in three separate transactions. These buildings were right-sized for modern banking needs, with the excess space transformed into vibrant, revenue-generating hubs anchored the bank and complimented with new tenants. In addition, the net sale-leaseback proceeds were used by BMO Bank to refresh the branch to create a modern, welcoming space for customers.
As our track record of strong complimentary tenant occupancy, superior bank deposit growth, and cost reduction became clear, so did our vision. In 2024, Brookline Asset Management, LLC was launched to build upon this proven model and scale it nationally through institutional partnerships and fund-level capital.
Today, our team combines decades of real estate, banking, and investment experience to deliver a repeatable, scalable strategy for unlocking hidden value in legacy branch real estate—one property at a time.
