Our Story

A Vertically Integrated Real Estate Powerhouse

Founded in 2012 by Adam Burns, Boston Pinnacle Properties has grown from acquiring and renovating triple-deckers in South Boston into one of the city's most dynamic, fully integrated real estate development firms. Our unique model spans the entire real estate lifecycle, from acquisition and permitting through construction, leasing, and long-term management, allowing us to control quality, maximize returns, and deliver exceptional outcomes for our investors and residents alike.

This integrated approach is built on four core capabilities: ground-up and adaptive reuse development, in-house general contracting construction, professional property management, and full-service sales and leasing through our brokerage arm.
