Headquartered in Miami Beach, with offices in New York and Washington, DC, the company was founded by R. Donahue Peebles in 1983.
The company specializes in residential, hospitality, retail, and mixed-use commercial properties, with a focus on public-private partnerships.
[3] 2100 Martin Luther King Jr. (Washington, DC) Built in 1991, this 100,000-square-foot office building was a Public/Private Partnership with The District of Columbia.
The design preserved a small historic Art Deco structure and incorporated it into the newly constructed building.
[4] 10 G Street (Washington, DC) Peebles built this 280,000-square-foot Class A office building just a few blocks from the U.S. Capitol and Union Station.
[5] Courtyard by Marriott Convention Center Hotel (Washington, DC) Built in 1891 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places, Peebles converted the former Washington Loan & Trust building, including restoration of the original marble floors, the ornate gold-leaf ceiling, and the lobby’s Corinthian columns.
There existed public scrutiny relating to the manner in which then Governor David Patterson and state legislators managed the entire bidding process.
After years of negotiations with DC agencies to transform the abandoned parcel, Peebles and his development partner were unable to move forward with the project.
Peebles maintained the charges were politically motivated due to the opposition to then Mayor Adrian Fenty’s failed re-election bid earlier that year.
[29] Peebles filed a bid protest against SUNY and the New York State Office of the Comptroller found the two parties had reached a "good faith impasse.
Plans for the proposed $330 million, 390,000-square-foot project include a hotel, condominiums, rental apartments, retail, and a Hynes MBTA station.
[36][37] Peebles has publicly and expressly stated "racism has impeded our progress" in Los Angeles,[38] despite prior assurances that the project would be on time and was meeting all deadlines to be open for the 2028 Olympics.
[39][40] Angels Landing is projected to initially inject $1.6 billion into the local economy and create more than 8,300 new jobs for construction.
The project, encompassing 3.8 acres of land along with air-rights above the Bankhead MARTA rail station, will be redeveloped as a mixed-use transit-oriented community.
The plan includes approximately 490+ multi-family housing units, 30% of which will be designated affordable, a hotel, retail, office, parking, and over one acre of open space.
[50] Brooklyn Village (Charlotte, NC) Through an RFP process, Mecklenburg County, in uptown Charlotte, NC, selected The Peebles Corporation to develop Brooklyn Village, a mixed-use development consisting of 3,000,000 gross square feet, including apartments, hotels, office space, and ground-level retail.
Peebles works with the Milken Institute to support various initiatives with both the Prostate Cancer Foundation and global leadership.
