Oakline Properties Merges with Drucker + Falk to Set New Standards in Multifamily Property Management
The realm of multifamily property management continues to evolve with strategic partnerships that redefine the landscape and set the trajectory for future growth. The recent announcement of the partnership between Oakline Properties and Drucker + Falk (DF) encapsulates this ongoing progression within the industry.
Oakline Properties, a subsidiary launched by Alpine Investors in September 2025, has taken a significant leap forward by partnering with DF, a revered Top-50 NMHC multifamily and commercial property management firm. This strategic alliance brings together Oakline’s innovative approach to growth and scale, with DF’s seven-decade-long legacy of excellence in property management.
DF’s robust foothold in the industry – managing over 43,000 apartment units, flourishing under the leadership of third-generation owners and steered by over a thousand employees – is poised for a transformative journey. This partnership is not merely a fusion of two entities but a confluence of tradition and modernity. Wendy Drucker, a principal and Managing Director at DF, expresses sentiment towards the union, “From the outset, Oakline’s people-oriented mission gave us the confidence that they will take care of our people and the company we have built. We look forward to our next chapter and continuing to build on our property management industry leadership.”
DF’s choice to engage with Oakline unlocks a plethora of benefits, including the infusion of modern technology, cross-platform lead generation, and access to a more extensive pool of talent. All these elements coalesce to support DF’s commitment to service excellence and investment in human capital. Kellie J. Falk, Principal and Managing Director at DF, conveys this sentiment, stating, “We are tremendously excited to partner with Oakline as they help us bring DF’s operations into its next phase of growth and scale. Our partnership provides the perfect puzzle piece that allows us to keep our foremost focus on providing best-in-class service for our customers, while continuing to invest behind our best asset, our people.”
Oakline’s people-first philosophy aligns perfectly with DF’s own values and operational ethos. The expanded platform, now poised to manage over 65,000 units nationwide, symbolizes the escalation of DF’s influence across the multifamily sector. Amanda Sayigh, CEO of Oakline, acknowledges the significance of this partnership, “Wendy, Kellie, David and the team at Drucker + Falk have built one of the leading multifamily management firms in the US. We are deeply grateful for the opportunity to partner with them and to support the company’s continued growth, while maintaining the attributes that have defined its success to-date.”
In conclusion, this partnership represents more than a pioneering step for Oakline and DF – it conveys a powerful message about the strategic growth potential within the multifamily sector and the pivotal role innovation and leadership play in shaping its future. The collaborative strengths of these firms signal a new era of opportunity and promise for the property management industry. As the industry watches this partnership mature, there’s anticipation of the benchmarks it will establish for service quality and company culture in the years to come.
