Areas of Expertise
The people of Finard Properties understand that success in real estate arises from a well-considered blend of art and science. Real estate is more than a balance sheet or income statement, but it is not a look-and-feel industry, either. Managing properties, developing a parcel of land, redeveloping a formerly-struggling industrial site, and attracting partners for equity and debt involves careful consideration to the impact of line items on a budget along with the lasting impact of strong relationships between landlords, tenants and vendors, between developers and neighbors, community leaders, and tradespeople, and between project owners and equity partners and debt sources.
Community Activities
The people at Finard Properties are deeply involved in their communities. Beyond improving and beautifying the areas of our properties, we participate in our communities by providing scholarships and donations and directing and fundraising for charitable organizations.

About Us
In 1972, after 15 years of developing some of the premier retail centers in New England, Murray Finard and his son, Bill, founded Finard & Company. When his father retired, Bill took on partners, expanded services, and widened geographic focus which enabled Finard & Company to become a leader in developing and servicing commercial real estate. In 2007, Bill established Finard Properties LLC with his son, Todd Finard, and son-in-law, Rob Hughes. The goal of Finard Properties is to create value for its own properties and the properties of its clients with imagination and innovation in management, capitalization, development, and redevelopment.
Featured News - Community Activities
Twenty six members of the Finard Properties team participated in a day-long cleanup at Ross Field in Hyde Park, Massachusetts in August 2010.

William G. Finard
Background
After serving in the National Teacher Corps and teaching high school English for several years, Bill Finard joined his father in the real estate business in 1971. He loved the challenge, variety, and opportunity to be creative, and, upon discovering that real estate development was his true calling, he founded Finard & Company in the mid-1970’s. Adding partners, Bill helped make the company a leader in commercial real estate services. Seeing new opportunities in the real estate environment, Bill established Finard Properties LLC in partnership with his son and son-in-law in 2007. These two generations of Finards will focus on development, investment, and management for owned properties as well as third-party clients. The new firm blends history and experience with innovation and technology to add value to properties for themselves and their clients.
Specialties
Bill specializes in putting people, money, and real estate assets together for growth and increased value. He always seems to find “another way” when others are ready to settle or give up. His relationships with banks, builders, retailers, municipalities, and other professionals are unsurpassed.
Other Business and Life Pursuits
Additional business activities have included involvement with Grove Bank for Savings as Director, Trustee, and Chairman of the Board. Subsequently, Bill served as Director of Citizens Bank of Massachusetts. He is also a Director and Partner of Lehigh Fluid Power, a specialty pneumatic cylinder and valve company located in Lambertville, New Jersey.
Philanthropic activities have included serving as a Trustee of Colgate University for nine years, immediate past Chair of Hebrew SeniorLife, Trustee Emeritus of Beth Israel Hospital, and former Overseer at WGBH of Boston. Consistent with its policy of investing back into the communities where it is active, Finard Properties also awards a total of 10 college scholarships annually.

Todd B. Finard
Background
After working through college as a leasing/sales agent in the Back Bay of Boston, MA, Todd began his commercial real estate career in the mortgage banking industry where he worked in structured finance for a variety of retail, office, and residential projects. Next, he acquired numerous properties in Beacon Hill and the Back Bay which he converted to luxury condominiums. These projects included 306 Beacon Street, 53 Beacon Street, and The Tudor - Beacon Hill’s premier full service building. Todd also teamed with his father to develop Carriagetown Marketplace in Amesbury, MA - a 100,000 square foot Stop & Shop anchored shopping center. Expanding his geographic range, Todd built high-end homes in Scottsdale, Arizona and then acquired and redeveloped a series of retail and office properties from Memphis, TN to Methuen, MA. He has served as the asset manager to the Finard family commercial real estate portfolio since 2001 while managing the redevelopment of more than one million square feet of property.
Specialties
Todd has focused for many years on creating value through the development and redevelopment process. By transitioning properties from an underutilized state to their highest and best use, he has continually succeeded in unlocking value across a range of property profiles.
Personal
Todd lives west of Boston with his wife and three children. He enjoys traveling with his family as well as golf, skiing, snowboarding, and a variety of charitable causes. Todd is the immediate past President of the Men’s Associates of Hebrew SeniorLife and the current Vice Chairman of the HSL organization. He is also a member of the Board of Governors for Combined Jewish Philanthropies, the Next Gen Housing Corporation, the Hyde Park YMCA and the International Council of Shopping Centers.

Areas of Expertise
The people of Finard Properties understand that success in real estate arises from a well-considered blend of art and science. Real estate is more than a balance sheet or income statement, but it is not a look-and-feel industry, either. Managing properties, developing a parcel of land, redeveloping a formerly-struggling industrial site, and attracting partners for equity and debt involves careful consideration to the impact of line items on a budget along with the lasting impact of strong relationships between landlords, tenants and vendors, between developers and neighbors, community leaders, and tradespeople, and between project owners and equity partners and debt sources.
Community Activities
The people at Finard Properties are deeply involved in their communities. Beyond improving and beautifying the areas of our properties, we participate in our communities by providing scholarships and donations and directing and fundraising for charitable organizations. If you have any interest in finding out more about any of the above, please contact us.

Finard Properties offers two additional days off annually to encourage their employees to “give back to the community.” One day is individualized, in that each person can volunteer or assist with a cause that may be one of importance to the individual employee. The other day is often a group effort whereby each office closes for the day and organizes a collaborative community-driven project. Below are a few examples of office community days.

Portland, ME - Wall of Fame, part 2
One Monument Square’s lobby “Wall of Fame” features the work of various local artists each month. The current “artist of the month” is Richard Guillemand Sandifer. Richard travels internationally and maintains a studio in Portland, as he says the stark beauty of Maine’s rocky coast and vast wilderness continue to inspire his creative spirit. Richard tells us “My photographs are about light and its powerful effect on the human psyche. The light in my photographs defines and brings life to my subjects. It is the illumination of history in the making.” Peek at some of his work; click here to view his photos.

Portland, ME—Wall of Fame
One Monument Square has installed a “Wall of Fame” in the lobby as a program allowing a local artist to display his/her work for a period of approximately four weeks. Community enthusiasm for this project was expected, but the breadth of interest has been surprising.
The first local artist to participate is a photographer, Jack Kennealy from Cape Elizabeth, Maine (http://www.kennealy.com). His work has been purchased for display in large offices in downtown Portland (Maine Medical Center and Mercy Hospital). Jack’s work emphasizes the natural hues of dawn and sunset, with a large focus on the forms and shapes of coastal Maine and will be displayed from June 24 to mid-July.
Burlington, VT—Community Days
The five-person office staff spent the day volunteering at the Vermont Foodbank in Barre, VT. A food bank is not a food shelf. A food bank secures large quantities of food and food-related products from commercial suppliers, concerned citizens, and other sources. After the product is examined and sorted, it is then offered to the Foodbank’s member agencies. Food banks do not give food directly to low income people. There is only one food bank in Vermont – the Vermont Foodbank. A food shelf, on the other hand, is a local, non-profit community agency that directly provides bags or boxes of food to low income people in its area for home preparation and consumption. A food shelf may obtain food from a food bank, from individual donations in its community, and through wholesale and/or retail purchase. There are many ways to pitch in at the Foodbank including preparing food in their community kitchen, stuffing envelopes for a mailing, sorting and/or packing food for eventual delivery, and other essential tasks and projects. It was a wonderful day, lots of work, and the Foodbank very much appreciated our efforts.

Areas of Expertise
Management
Mark Twain said, “It’s not what we don’t know that hurts us. It’s what we think we know that just ain’t so.” Despite (or because of) our management expertise, we don’t assume we know all the answers for a given property. However, we understand the questions that must be asked - about investors, about tenants, about communities, about bricks and mortar, and about capital sources. Asking the right questions doesn’t always give you the answers that you expect, but it gives you the best chance of getting the answers you need. Questions and answers are the best way to give investors what they want the most: the right returns.
Development
Development from the ground up is always a double-edged sword: risk and reward. Maintaining the balance between the two allows the greatest chance for success. Elements that affect balance include the political, physical, geographic, financial, community, and regulatory. Any one item can throw a project off balance, but understanding and maintaining the risk/reward ratio is what has distinguished Finard Properties and millions of square feet of real estate for over five decades. Managing risk and maximizing reward: it’s what we do best.
Redevelopment
There are two critical phases of redevelopment. The first phase involves conceiving and modeling a higher and better structure for an asset. The second phase is execution of the vision which entails managing the process and its effects on income stream, capital sources, tenants, and the community. Finard Properties has been undertaken every aspect of redeveloping a wide spectrum of projects from nineteenth century downtown high-rise office buildings to numerous convenience shopping centers as well as re-tenanting and renovating large regional shopping centers. From concept to reality is a road we know and travel well.
Capitalization
Like any other investment, real estate works only when values increase, and there’s no magic formula to guarantee that happens. Every property, and every market, is unique. Finard Properties understands how to maximize the performance of an asset within its marketplace. We understand the opportunities as well as the limitations of debt structures. We know that hard work, thorough analysis, and unwavering commitment are the ingredients necessary for success. We are driven by one thing: maximizing value within acceptable levels of risk.
