Sim Property Management Ltd
The business was founded in 1957 as a building and civil engineering contractor by Mr James Sim. Although we are no longer involved directly in the construction industry, the business continues to be family-run and Russell Sim, our current Managing Director, is a civil engineer.
The property side of our business started around 1973 with construction of industrial buildings in the Tollcross area of Glasgow and we still have a small estate on Carmyle Avenue which formed part of that original development. Other sites have since been acquired at well placed locations around the Greater Glasgow area but we have not really been a regular trader of properties, preferring to manage growth through existing investments and to build long-term relationships with our tenants.
After more than 50 years of history, the business was restructured in 2009/2010 under a new Sim Property Group identity to reflect more accurately what we now do. The current group structure was created with new projects in mind at existing estates and also prepared us for future opportunities that may arise within the property market.
All properties owned within our group are administered by an in-house managing agent, Sim Property Management Ltd. We concentrate on traditional out-of-town offices and industrial units and do not normally get involved with retail properties. We have no involvement in the residential sector.
