Transwestern has expanded its Mid-Atlantic footprint by acquiring SSH Real Estate, Inc., a long-established commercial real estate firm based in Philadelphia. SSH provides property management, brokerage, and investment services and has been active in the regional market for decades. The transaction represents Transwestern’s formal entry into the Philadelphia market and aligns the acquired platform with its broader services network.
Through the acquisition, Transwestern adds 47 SSH team members to its organization, integrating them into its Mid-Atlantic operations. The deal also brings a regional property management portfolio exceeding 5 million square feet under the Transwestern banner. This portfolio spans multiple asset types and deepens the firm’s presence in a key Northeast market.
SSH, founded in 1952, has built a diversified client base over its history, representing private, public, and nonprofit tenants, landlords, and investors. The firm’s property management portfolio, overseen by partner Michael Montemuro, includes office, industrial, and flex properties across suburban Philadelphia. By joining Transwestern, these operations become part of a larger national platform while maintaining a focus on local market coverage.
With the SSH Real Estate acquisition complete, Transwestern now counts more than 300 team members in the Mid-Atlantic Region. The firm oversees more than 28 million square feet of industrial, office, healthcare, and retail properties on behalf of its clients across the region. This scale is intended to support a wide range of property services and to align with the needs of institutional and private owners alike.
Transwestern leadership characterized the combination as a way to build a stronger presence in Philadelphia, describing it as one of the Northeast’s more resilient markets. Greg Munson, President of Transwestern Services, said the alliance enhances the firm’s capabilities across the commercial real estate spectrum. By pairing SSH’s established local team and portfolio with Transwestern’s broader platform, the combined operation aims to deliver expanded services to existing and new clients in the Philadelphia area.
