It is my distinct pleasure to introduce Edward P. Nicks — known to all of us simply as Ed — who has joined Hanover Corporation as our new Office Manager supporting Hanover Realty, Hanover Commercial, Hanover Management, and Hanover Builder Marketing, and concurrently as Associate Property Manager of Jefferson Office Park here in Golden. Ed officially stepped into both roles this month, and I could not be more confident about the depth of experience, judgment, and integrity he brings to our team and to each of you.
Ed is the founder and President of Integrity Asset Services, Inc., a Lakewood-based property management firm he established in 2020 after a distinguished twenty-year tenure as Director of Property Management at Integrated Properties, Inc. Across a career spanning more than 40 years in commercial and residential real estate, he has overseen diversified portfolios of office, retail, flex, and multi-family assets across several western states, and has built a reputation for maximizing income and value through disciplined operating strategy, rigorous lease analysis, and genuine tenant relationships.
Among many career highlights, Ed played a central role in the design, construction, buildout, and operation of the 16M Building at 16th and Market Street in downtown Denver — a 10-story, 189,000- square-foot, LEED-Certified Class A mixed-use project that earned the Colorado Facility Award of Excellence (COFAX) for Exceptional New Building in 2015 from the International Facilities Management Association. He has also led the workout and sale of more than 200 single-family residential lots in Ft. Collins following the 2008–09 downturn, directed high-rise elevator modernizations, managed mold and
water-damage remediation for a Houston office building, overseen hail-damage recovery in Lakewood, and assisted with hurricane restoration and expansion at a five-star resort in Cabo San Lucas. More recently, he has consulted as project manager and broker for a national land development company on residential land projects throughout the Denver metro area.
Ed earned his Bachelor of Science in Business Administration with a major in Real Estate and Construction Management from the University of Denver — making us proud fellow DU alumni — and his toolkit covers budgeting and reconciliation, lease administration and analysis, insurance and risk, construction oversight and tenant improvements, owner and lender negotiations, and the full arc of acquisitions, dispositions, and commercial appraisal work. He is equally fluent in Skyline, Sage, and the broader Microsoft and Mac ecosystems our office relies on daily.
In his role as Office Manager, Ed will serve as the central liaison between our brokers, clients, vendors, and tenants — managing communications, schedules, listings, closings, vendor coordination, database integrity, and the back-office systems that keep Hanover running smoothly. As Associate Property Manager at Jefferson Office Park, he will work alongside me on day-to-day operations of our flagship commercial property: tenant relations, lease administration, vendor and contractor management, budgeting, capital projects, and the careful attention to detail our tenants have come to expect.
Beyond his professional credentials, Ed embodies the values we have worked to build at Hanover since 1987. He has been married to his wife Anna for more than thirty years and together they raised six children. He has taught adaptive skiing at the Winter Park National Sports Center for the Disabled, served as a Cub Scout and Boy Scout leader, and volunteered for nearly a decade with Westernaires, the precision drill riding team based in Jefferson County. His commitment to honesty, hard work, and thinking outside the box is exactly the kind of personal character that aligns with how we serve our clients and care for our properties.
