1957 Onwards
Founded by famed architect John C Portman Jr., the company has stayed true to the philosophies that shaped the firm’s identity: that real estate should create value for its community, its owners, and its investors; that integrity of design and planning will result in buildings that are useful and timeless. As John C. Portman, Jr. once said, “Buildings should serve people, not the other way around.”
