Our
History
Peter Lawrence Commercial Real Estate was formed in 1988 to acquire, develop, lease and manage commercial real estate. The initial property acquisitions were made in the Tampa market where the Company’s headquarters are currently located. Shortly thereafter, Peter Lawrence expanded into the Miami market where the firm not only acquired existing industrial buildings, but also purchased vacant land parcels upon which the company developed Class A industrial product. In the early 1990’s, the firm further diversified its portfolio by acquiring property in Northern Virginia within the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area. Peter Lawrence grew by not only purchasing industrial/warehouse facilities, but also acquired well-located suburban office buildings. During the late 1990’s and the early 2000’s, Peter Lawrence’s growth was primarily fueled by the construction and development of regional distribution facilities and mid-rise, Class A office buildings. In 2013, the company acquired its first holding in Raleigh, North Carolina. In aggregate, the Peter Lawrence portfolio currently consists of 3.2 million square feet.
