The firm was created in 1981 to provide specialized, independent real estate investment advice conducted directly by experienced executives. We are one of only a few real estate consulting firms with a truly national practice, coast to coast, from major markets to small towns.
Our founder, Maynard Bartram, led the real estate investment trust at Connecticut General Insurance Company at the time that they merged with INA to become CIGNA. Although he was offered an executive position at the new entity, Mr. Bartram took the opportunity to express his entrepreneurial disposition and established Bartram & Company. The Yale University Endowment was a major client of the new firm, and Mr. Bartram helped the fund achieve its goal of increasing real estate investments to 10% of the total fund.
Maura Cochran joined Bartram & Company in 1987, bringing her background in architecture, development, and real estate brokerage. Together, Mr. Bartram and Ms. Cochran created a strong team that merged financial analysis with market and feasibility analysis. In 1989, the company changed its name to Bartram & Cochran.
Mr. Bartram retired in 1992 and, afterward, Richard Stoltz, Jack MacNeish and William Cochran joined the company, further extending the firm's experience and capabilities. Vicki Putnam was engaged to oversee editing and research. Linda Spevacek was brought on board to further enhance the firm’s comprehensive qualifications. Most recently, Ronald Patterson joined and Peter Holland rejoined Bartram & Cochran as the firm's Managing Director, and Gerald Levy joined as a consultant.
