From Receptionist to Real Estate Leader

Lauren Admirand’s journey in commercial real estate spans more than 20 years, beginning at the front desk and rising to the executive suite. Her last corporate role as senior vice president of retail asset management at Quarterra Group, a Lennar company, saw her lead a team that increased portfolio value from $50 million to $200 million in just three years. Her climb through the ranks gave her unmatched insight into the entire ecosystem—insight she now uses to reimagine industry standards through her own firm.

​

The Birth of a Mission-Driven Firm

In 2025, Lauren launched Admirand Commercial Real Estate Services in Massachusetts to create something different—something more human. Her mission: to bridge the gap between landlords and tenants, advocating for both sides through smarter planning, transparent partnerships, and values-driven development. “The relationship between landlord and tenant is symbiotic,” she says. “When both thrive, the community prospers.”

​

Advocacy Through Expertise

Lauren’s firm specializes in three core areas: site plan development, tenant improvement/construction, and lease management. She sees the site plan as the foundation of a building’s long-term success, believing flexible, future-ready design is key to sustainable value. Her advocacy for tenants is just as strong. As construction becomes more complex and costly, she offers a rare source of clarity, helping tenants avoid pitfalls that can cost thousands—or more. Her lease management strategy centers on relationship-building and long-term alignment rather than short-term wins.

​

A Human-Centered Approach

Lauren’s philosophy is rooted in transparency, trust, and shared success. Her fee-based model removes commission-driven bias, allowing her to act solely in her clients’ best interests. “Tenants need someone in their corner,” she says. “Developers and landlords need smarter, more flexible solutions. I help them both, so everyone can win.” For Lauren, real estate isn’t just about property—it’s about placemaking, community engagement, and restoring the human connection that the industry often overlooks.

​

Credentials That Back the Vision

Lauren holds a B.A. from Merrimack College, a North Carolina Real Estate License, a South Carolina Property Manager License, an RPA from BOMI International, and the prestigious CPM designation from IREM. But it’s her integrity, empathy, and commitment to real-world impact that make her stand out.

​

Changing the Industry—One Relationship at a Time

Lauren founded her company not just to serve one employer or side of the deal, but to transform the way people experience commercial real estate. “I was successful in the corporate world, but I wasn’t aligned,” she says. “Now, I get to lead with purpose—and help others do the same.”

 

With Lauren at the helm, Admirand Commercial Real Estate Services isn’t just delivering results—it’s rewriting the rules with heart, honesty, and a bold new standard for what’s possible.
