The beginnings of ACCESS go back to 2005 when Darren Hicks and Kirk Hanson began working together for a national retail power center and mall developer. They quickly realized their passion for commercial real estate while focusing on both large and small format retail development, in addition to select hospitality projects. When the market declined in 2009, Darren and Kirk took a creative approach by expanding their receivership and REO services for struggling assets. Their expertise in development and capital markets, along with an extensive network of tenant relationships, created the foundation for the ACCESS family of companies to be built upon. ACCESS has grown to over 50 employees and counting. Backed by solid systems and processes, and a national network of contacts in real estate, construction, and design, their services have expanded to include Development, Brokerage, Asset Management, Construction, and Property Management.
