Company Overview
Founded in 1960 — South Florida’s Longest-Standing Commercial Property Manager
Sharpe Properties was founded on November 9, 1960, by Barry Sharpe — an American businessman raised in Havana, Cuba, who left shortly after Fidel Castro’s rise to power. With entrepreneurial resolve forged in one of history’s most dramatic political upheavals, Barry built Sharpe Properties into a cornerstone of South Florida’s commercial real estate landscape.
More than 65 years later, Sharpe Properties remains family-owned and operated, managing over 500,000 square feet of industrial, retail, office, and residential property across Miami-Dade and Broward Counties. No South Florida commercial real estate firm has deeper roots in the communities we serve.

Legal Expertise & Owner-Operator Accountability
Sharpe Properties is led by Mason Sharpe, Esq., a Florida-licensed attorney admitted to the Florida Bar in 2000. As General Counsel and Vice President of Property Management & Leasing, Mason brings direct legal expertise to every lease negotiation, tenant dispute, and property management decision — a distinction that sets Sharpe Properties apart from non-attorney property management firms.
Mason holds membership in the Florida Bar, the American Bar Association (ABA), and the International Council of Shopping Centers (ICSC) — the premier professional organization for retail real estate globally. This professional network translates directly into market intelligence and best practices for every owner and tenant we serve.
As owners and operators of many of the properties in our portfolio, the Sharpe family manages every third-party property exactly as we manage our own: with a direct stake in performance, compliance, and long-term asset value.
Strong Roots in the South Florida Commercial Real Estate Community
With over six decades of continuous operation in South Florida, Sharpe Properties has built the kind of market relationships that only time creates. Our network includes established brokers, vetted contractors, institutional lenders, municipal officials, and long-term tenants who have renewed with us multiple times over decades.
We operate in one of the most competitive and culturally diverse commercial real estate markets in the country. Our bilingual team (English and Spanish) serves the predominantly Spanish-speaking communities of Hialeah and Miami — where the majority of our industrial warehouse inventory is located — connecting businesses seeking bodegas en alquiler en Hialeah with available space directly, with no broker intermediary required.
Sharpe Properties continuously pursues expansion opportunities across industrial, retail, and mixed-use assets in Miami-Dade and Broward County — both in third-party management mandates and direct acquisitions.
