Carl M. Freeman Companies

In its seven decades, the Carl M. Freeman Companies has evolved from residential development of well-planned, environmentally-concerned communities to commercial property developers whose portfolio includes award-winning beach-front, golf course communities and shopping centers focused on community activity as well as convenience.

Our hands-on experience has created within our company the expertise to manage capital investments, from land acquisition and/or property redevelopment to the full range of commercial property management services, and everything in between.

We do so continuing the legacy that positions the Freeman name as synonymous with a caring, thoughtful, and deliberate approach to all aspects of real estate development.

We are a family-owned company, which is a mark for me of pride, and I take very much to heart the responsibility of carrying the Freeman name and the Freeman values into the 21st century. My carefully-chosen leadership team and I look forward to honoring our company’s long history of excellence as we create a bright future for our region, our clients, and our partners.

Freeman as Value Creators

Our philosophy of partnership is simple: it is an opportunity to work with others to gain trust, to share ideas, to find solutions, to enhance all of the elements involved in successful investing. This enables us to cast a wide net in finding unique angles which offer often-unsuspected potential for creating value. Added to that is the fact that our unique owner’s perspective gives us the historical grounding to be unafraid to be unconventional in finding the multiple ways of enhancing an investment.
