ABOUT US
The Cotton Companies is a Real Estate Development and Investment firm located in Columbus, Georgia. Formed in 2016, our firm was established to do one thing – develop remarkable real estate. We transform, innovate, and create real estate assets that positively impact the communities in which we do business. Big or small and no matter the market, every project we do is exceptional and begun with the same intent—to build a community for people to thrive.
The Cotton Companies process begins with a question: how does this project build a better community while also developing a long-term synergetic asset? The Cotton Companies choose real estate opportunities and transform them into purpose-built developments that provide a competitive return financially, all while positively impacting the surrounding community.
Our work requires a network of talent and a variety of expertise. Our team has been curated to bring added value to all aspects of the real estate development process. The team members specialize in project management, design, business development, asset acquisition and management, urban planning, and commercial investment and development. This gives The Cotton Companies the ability to manage a project from start to finish; acquisition, planning and design, investment, project management, and securing and managing tenants. We work with some of the best vendors in the region, all of which are aligned with the same community-first values. Combined, the team is associated with over $185M of investment and development in the Columbus, Georgia area.
