About

Over five decades ago, Peter W. Doerken embarked on a mission to establish a real estate investment and management firm founded on two core principles.  The first aimed to create a company that consistently elevated asset value through a long-term investment perspective.  The second was to instill a set of core values that endure to this day, such as integrity, hard work, diligence, transparency, community-mindedness, and mutual respect, fostering strong relationships within the organization and with partners, tenants, and vendors. DPI’s foundational pillars have been instrumental in cultivating a robust performance-oriented organization that remains highly successful today. The company’s primary investments are centered around the shopping center industry, with a strong emphasis on value enhancement through substantial operational improvements in each asset.

The company and its internal team consistently achieve desired results year over year through a commitment to organizational accountability and consistency across the organization.  DPI team members understand the company’s values and principles and bring this philosophy to life in day-to-day operations.

What began as one man’s vision in 1972 has evolved into a real estate investment firm rooted in an unwavering value system that supports a long-term perspective in every business investment and relationship.  This approach has resulted in improved properties, enriched communities, a dedicated team, and consistent business performance.
