CPRT

𝐎𝐔𝐑 𝐇𝐈𝐒𝐓𝐎𝐑𝐘 - Commercial Properties Development Corporation was founded in 1951 by Baton Rouge businessman, Wilbur Marvin. The company acquired, developed & leased neighborhoods + community shopping centers.

In 1992, after 40 successful years, Mr. Marvin established the Wilbur Marvin Foundation - a supporting organization of the Baton Rouge Area Foundation, & structured what would become Commercial Properties Realty Trust as the foundation’s real estate entity in order to generate funds for civic and charitable causes.

This was a defining moment for the Marvin family legacy & an even greater moment for the future of Baton Rouge. Mr. Marvin knew his foundation would impact this community, but even he couldn’t imagine the significance of his legacy.

Today, CPRT is a successful real estate investment trust (REIT) that makes significant financial & quality-of-life contributions throughout not only the Greater Baton Rouge community but also across the Southeastern United States.

Our mission at CPRT is to create lasting value & impact through our projects, focusing on the well-being of our properties and the communities we serve. We believe in collaborative community development, which has enabled us to achieve significant milestones. ⭐️ These include the re-development of historic downtown Baton Rouge & the establishment of research centers like The Water Campus. We've also constructed notable properties such as IBM’s Global Delivery Center & a luxury apartment complex. Currently, we're designing a new project in the Nicholson Corridor, further solidifying our investment in the area's growth.

Thank you to all that serve!
