Like most success stories, Calkain was formulated from humble beginnings. Jonathan W.  Hipp, President and CEO, took the initiative to build upon his decades of experience and performance and left a large international brokerage firm to become an independent and innovative leader within the triple net lease investment community.  Armed with a sole employee and a single office, the firm has grown exponentially since its infancy in 2005.

From the early days of only two people to the dozens of staff that currently drive four offices throughout the east coast United States, Calkain has constantly proved to its clients that achievement is only measured by the quality of its work and the professionals that service those efforts.

With the growth in staff, seasoned professionals have been attracted to Calkain’s model of innovation, entrepreneurship and the fostering of long-lasting and meaningful relationships. Industry experts have joined Calkain in the hopes of implementing the skills they have honed in complementary aspects of real estate investment.

Through a tremendous endeavor, tireless hours have been committed to continually prove that Calkain is America's Net Lease Company®. Its countless accolades received from the world’s leading business publications, including Forbes and Fortune, have confirmed that Calkain is a true leader in triple net lease investing services.
