Kahr Real Estate was founded by Joshua Kahr in 2002. The company quickly established itself as a leader in financial training, financial modeling, and market analysis for the real estate industry.

In 2003 and 2004, we grew rapidly. Highlights included a series of seminars for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency on brownfield redevelopment, the appointment of Mr. Kahr as a professor at New York University for its MS in Real Estate program, and the publication of a major analysis of New York City's tax assessment system that concluded that the City was severely under-assessing commercial properties relative to its published guidelines.

During 2005 and 2006, Mr. Kahr published his first book, Real Estate Market Valuation and Analysis, and the company moved into new offices at 139 Fulton Street in New York. Mr. Kahr joined the faculty of Columbia University's MS in Real Estate Development program; he continues to teach there. This book, his new appointment, and additional consulting projects brought the company to the national stage.

2007 was a landmark year for Kahr. We expanded both our training business and our consulting business globally including a development project in Monterrey, Mexico and training courses in Dubai, Hong Kong, London, Tokyo, and Singapore. We also moved into 55 Broad Street, a Class A building on the same block as the New York Stock Exchange. Mr. Kahr also acheived a major professional milestone with his appointment to the board of directors of Monmouth Real Estate Investment Corporation (NASDAQ: MNRTA).

In 2008, we weathered the credit crisis and emerged out the other side intact. We lost a few clients, all of whom were developers, and picked up a few, most of whom were distressed asset investors. The year was, in a word, turbulent.

In 2009, we launched our investment platform and closed on our first transaction. By using our large network of contacts that we developed through our consulting business, we were able to identify potential investments and investors.

As move into 2010, we will continue to grow in size, scope, and capabilities.
