BGL Advises Audax Private Equity in its Acquisition of AKAM

Leading property management and real estate platform

CHICAGO, April 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Brown Gibbons Lang & Company (BGL), a leading independent investment bank and financial advisory firm, is pleased to announce that Audax Private Equity (Audax) has completed its acquisition of AKAM, a property management and real estate firm that operates through three subsidiaries: AKAM, Orsid, and Metro Management and a portfolio company of Nautic Partners. BGL’s Real Estate Services and Technology investment banking team served as a buy-side financial advisor to Audax in the transaction. The specific terms of the transaction were not disclosed.

Founded in 1983, New York City-based AKAM is a property management and real estate firm that primarily serves condominiums and cooperatives, as well as single-family homeowner associations. AKAM seeks to set the standard in property management with its Residential Intelligence business philosophy that places customers at the heart of its business. With a deep history and expertise in the New York and Florida markets, AKAM looks to cultivate thriving communities through its hospitality-driven team, rigorous operational standards, and rich service offerings.

Transaction Details

• The acquisition positions AKAM to capitalize on a growing residential services market, supported by favorable industry tailwinds, including an increasingly complex regulatory environment that benefits established operators, rising insurance premiums, and elevated capital project spending that is expected to drive continued growth.

• The investment by Audax will also allow AKAM to further build out and expand its New York and Florida customer base.

• AKAM’s existing management team, led by Chief Executive Officer Ken Greene, will continue to lead the business, ensuring continuity for clients, employees, and partners.
