Our Story

Empowering our Communities

Driven by a need to revitalize urban areas

Primestor was founded to build community projects in areas overlooked by other developers. Over the last 30 years, Primestor has completed in excess of 100 projects and owns, acquires, leases, develops, and manages these assets for itself and its investors. Detailed architecture, lush landscaping, highly desirable tenants, generous on-site amenities, impeccably maintained facilities, and extensive community outreach have made Primestor a leader in the Real Estate development industry.
