About UPM
History.
United Property Management is one of South Florida’s largest privately held management firms, managing over 9,000 apartment units. We strive
to provide affordable luxury housing to meet the needs of South Florida’s growing population. UPM is one of the most reputable management
firms in all of South Florida. This family-owned organization is run with family values. In 1962, architect, developer, and entrepreneur, José Milton
made Miami, Florida his home. After several successful projects, he founded United Property Management in 1976. Today, United Property
Management owns, manages, and maintains rental communities throughout South Florida. The company employs over 700 individuals and
participates in charities such as Jackson Memorial Hospital, Alfalit International, Miami Children’s Home Society, Zoo Miami, Hope for the Homeless,
and Big Brothers & Big Sisters. In addition, United Property Management promotes continuing education for its employees through means of
various professional training programs and seminars.
United Property Management manages an extensive list of real estate holdings and continues to grow. Its portfolio has developed and maintained
beautiful landmark communities throughout South Florida including Miami Bay Waterfront Residences, located in Midtown Miami, Brickell West
City Rentals, Reflections Rentals, Fontainebleau Milton, and SeaView at Dania to name a few. The UPM family is proud of its contributions to South
Florida’s housing and continues to strive for excellence by “Paying Attention To Every Detail.”
Development & Construction.
As a vertically integrated corporation, J. Milton & Associates performs its own land acquisitions and planning, construction, financing and sales and
marketing. Each step of every project is subjected to rigorous value engineering and senior management is involved in every decision. Hands-on
involvement and meticulous attention to detail are hallmarks of the J. Milton & Associates development philosophy, enabling the delivery of the
highest quality communities that consistently surpass the company’s own high standards.
At the heart of its business models is the strongly held belief that homebuyers at every price point are entitled to the latest technology, top quality
workmanship, comfortable amenities and stellar overall community design. The company strives to reflect owners’ concerns for esthetics, sensible
and functional floor plan design, security, convenience, and pride of ownership.
Beyond it’s reputation for vision, prudent judgment, well-honed instincts, team building and responsible business practices, J. Milton & Associates
occupies the enviable position of being a privately held, family-owned and operated company whose business model has changed little since its
humble beginnings over a half century ago. The dynamic, modern thinking of the second generation of Milton family members brings a modern
yet timeless flair to its projects, and the commitment to quality and integrity remain consistent with the firm’s earliest aspirations. If the true
meaning of success lies in peace of mind and personal pride as well as material prosperity, then J. Milton & Associates serves ably as a model for the
future generations of companies who will add to the exciting, international urban phenomenon that is Greater Miami.
GREEN MOVEMENT
Lighting.
UPM works with Energy Star certified
lighting products to maintain energy
saving standards through the usage of
fluorescent lighting and timed/sensor
lighting to ensure safety and efficiency
in common areas. Timed lighting is also
implemented to continue reducing energy
usage. As UPM continues to grow, new
communities feature LED lighting in
lobbies.
Green Appliances.
UPM communities use Energy Star certified
appliances in its laundry centers and in all
apartment homes. These Energy Star
appliances are government certified and
proven to save water, energy, and money
on the utility bill.
Recycling.
UPM partners with its various
garbage-collection vendors to create an
easy single-stream recycling program that
allows residents and staff members to place
all recyclable materials such as cardboard,
paper, glass, plastic, and cans into 1 container.
No separating is required, thus encouraging
maximum recycling efforts.
Green Office Procedures.
To reduce paper waste, UPM implements
highly secure digital services to process all
resident leases digitally. Our residents to
register onto our online portal to pay rent
online and receive digital communications.
UPM also utilizes web-based storage
systems to store important documents.
Green Maintenance Procedures.
UPM Maintenance Teams promote green
initiatives through the use of low-VOC
paints in apartments. These paints
reduce landfill, groundwater, and ozone
depleting contaminants. Electricity is also
disconnected in vacant apartment homes
to limit wasteful usage and sprinkler
systems are adjusted when it rains to
conserve water.
Supporting Clean Transportation.
UPM encourages healthier means of
transportation by supplying bicycle storages in
the communities. Multiple UPM communities
have electric car charging stations available,
encouraging residents to operate fully
electric-based vehicles.
Enhancing Open Areas.
UPM has enhanced various green spaces
in the communities to create Playgrounds
and Dog Parks for our residents to enjoy.
UPM looks to utilize any available green
space to give our residents maximum
usage of the space provided within the
community.
Future Plans.
UPM plans to incorporate more digital
communication with residents;

transportation by supplying bicycle storage
in all the communities; will include electric
car charging stations; and will enhance
green spaces including playgrounds and
dog parks.
