Hilton Realty Company of Princeton is a family owned real estate investment and development firm founded by George H. Sands in 1952 and headquartered in Princeton, New Jersey. From the start, the founder embraced the philosophy of creating and maintaining a diversified portfolio to safely navigate the cyclical nature of the real estate industry. That philosophy continues today and, coupled with a strong economic base (95% of the properties are debt free), has proven to be a successful combination. Over the past five decades Hilton Realty Company has grown into one of the largest family owned real estate companies in the New Jersey area.

Based on the guiding principle of diversity, with in excess of 3,000 tenants, Hilton Realty Company's portfolio is comprised of numerous apartment complexes, shopping centers, single office buildings, office parks, warehouse/distribution centers and land. Each of the properties are well located in New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Florida. Most of the properties, including the first acquired, a 6 unit apartment house, have been retained over the years with the strategy of long term ownership spanning decades.


Hilton Realty Company's apartment division consists of over fifteen complexes located throughout central New Jersey. All are garden style with extensive landscaping and are situated in suburban neighborhoods. Most of the projects were developed by Hilton Realty Company beginning in the late 1950's.
The retail portfolio is made up of numerous shopping centers located in central New Jersey and eastern Pennsylvania. The centers are all well positioned in suburban settings and range in various sizes. Most are anchored by grocery stores and have a combined list of well recognized national tenants.
Class A, B and C office space is offered by Hilton Realty in buildings located in New Jersey and Florida. They range from single to multiple story with individual tenant spaces from 500 to in excess of 160,000 square feet.
Hilton Realty Company's current warehouse/distribution project is strategically located on the Florida Turnpike within minutes of I-95, and will be 3.5 million square feet upon completion. The buildings are well designed and provide a choice of loading docks or grade level to satisfy the user's requirements.


The company plans to continue the same successful philosophy of diversification while maintaining a strong economic base by continuing controlled growth within its existing divisions and the establishment of new ones.
