Company History
Kevin founded Brinkman Partners in 2005 as a fully integrated real estate firm, offering services ranging from brokerage to construction management. In 2016, the company evolved into two distinct entities—one specializing in commercial real estate investment and the other in construction. At that point, Kevin transitioned full time to lead Brinkman Real Estate, guiding its strategic shift toward development and acquisitions. Today, the company has grown into a leading real estate investment firm in the Intermountain West, with nearly $780 million in total deal volume and a reputation as a top buyer in the region.
Brinkman is a real estate investment company focused on executing core plus and value add acquisitions, offering comprehensive asset management, and providing deep investment expertise.
