SouthGate Companies operates in the real estate sector with a focus on property management and real estate investment. Based in Iowa City, Iowa, the firm was founded in 1962 by Polish immigrant David Braverman. Over its history it developed residential subdivisions and a substantial housing portfolio and today manages more than 1,000 residential units in the Iowa City area, including condos, apartments, townhomes, and homeowners associations. In 2019, SouthGate was acquired by Hillcrest Holdings, a Midwest-based family-owned holding company. SouthGate's operations focus on property owners and tenants in the Iowa City metro area, providing management for rental housing and oversight of homeowners associations.

A notable recent development is a November 2023 partnership with CIVCO Medical Instruments Co., Inc. to secure a new location intended to support sustained growth.
