The company works across residential, hospitality, retail, office, and mixed-use property, often through complex urban projects and public-private partnerships. Its own portfolio summary reports more than 10 million square feet developed and projects across major U.S. markets; those are company-reported totals. Peebles biography · Company portfolio overview

Peebles began in real estate appraisal and moved into development through projects that required public approvals and partnerships. The company’s account identifies a Class A office building completed in 1989 as an early development and the Royal Palm Hotel in Miami Beach—awarded through a city partnership in 1996—as a landmark project. He later acquired and redeveloped the Bath Club property, preserving its historic clubhouse while creating a residential and hospitality destination. These projects established a model that combines private development with civic negotiation and historic sites. Peebles career biography · Company history

Peebles calls the firm’s inclusion-oriented approach “Affirmative Development,” emphasizing participation by minority- and women-owned businesses. That framing is the company’s stated philosophy; its practical record includes projects such as the Royal Palm and Bath Club redevelopments, while newer proposals such as Brooklyn Village in Charlotte have involved public debate over affordable housing and project terms. Peebles has also held civic and policy roles, including chairing the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation board, and has written about real estate entrepreneurship.
