Affirmative Development

Affirmative Development™(n.): To be transformational; To create environments of economic opportunity for minorities and women in business by using both the company and its projects as vehicles for change.

Affirmative Development™ is the development philosophy that has guided The Peebles Corporation throughout its history. It reflects the belief that major real estate projects can do more than create buildings and investment value. They can also expand access to opportunity for businesses and professionals that have historically been underrepresented in the real estate industry.

For Peebles, that means using both the company itself and the economic activity generated by its developments to create meaningful participation for minority- and women-owned businesses.

TRANSFORMATIVE DEVELOPMENT

 From the outset, The Peebles Corporation has incorporated the principles of Affirmative Development™ into the way it assembles teams, selects partners and executes projects.

As a 100 percent minority-owned development company, Peebles has made expanding economic opportunity a central part of its business model. The company actively seeks qualified minority- and women-owned businesses across the professional, consulting and contracting disciplines involved in real estate development.

That commitment extends beyond satisfying participation requirements. The Peebles Corporation has consistently sought to exceed municipality-mandated diversity goals while reducing barriers that can prevent capable local businesses from participating in significant development opportunities.

Affirmative Development™ therefore treats inclusion as part of the development process itself, rather than as an initiative added after a project has been structured.

TRANSFORMATIVE DEVELOPMENT

From the outset, The Peebles Corporation has been guided by these core principles and has instilled these beliefs in our diverse team of executives, partners, and contractors.

As a one hundred percent minority-owned development company, The Peebles Corporation is renowned for its unwavering commitment to fostering economic prosperity for minority- and women-owned businesses. Across the board, our Black-owned property development company consistently surpasses municipality-mandated diversity goals and actively breaks down barriers to entry for local businesses across the communities where we develop.

UNMATCHED DIVERSITY & INCLUSION

We prioritize inclusivity throughout every phase of our projects, actively engaging businesses historically marginalized in real estate development. Our assembled teams not only possess the requisite qualifications for success but also mirror the diverse composition of the cities in which we develop.

Development as a Vehicle for Change
Affirmative Development™ reflects a broader view of what real estate development can accomplish.

A successful project can create financial returns, improve property, strengthen a neighborhood and generate jobs. It can also determine which businesses gain experience, relationships, revenue and opportunities to participate in future projects.

The Peebles Corporation uses Affirmative Development™ to make that economic participation a deliberate part of the development process.
