Cousins Properties Incorporated is one of the country’s top diversified development companies. The company’s development expertise covers a broad array of product types – office, retail, urban residential and single-family communities – and over the past 50 years, Cousins has earned a reputation for creative, industry leading developments. Celebrating its 50th anniversary in 2008, the company has been publicly traded since 1962 and is currently listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol CUZ.
Geographically, Cousins is focused on fast-growing Sunbelt states like Florida, Georgia, Texas and California and has developed many of its product types in each of those states.
Best known for landmark office towers like Bank of America Plaza, One Ninety One Peachtree and Frost Bank Tower, as well as its innovative and successful Avenue® concept retail centers, Cousins has broadened its mission in recent years to include multi-family development. The Company's 2005 acquisition of The Gellerstedt Group has led to one completed development in Midtown Atlanta and the first high-rise residential building at Terminus, Cousins’ 10-acre community in the heart of Atlanta’s Buckhead district. Upon completion, the $700 million project will include two office towers, three residential towers, more than 125,000 square feet of destination retail and four distinctive restaurants, not to mention five acres of open spaces to help create a sense of community.
Since the Company's founding, Cousins has developed more than 20 million square feet of office space and 20 million square feet of retail space, including seven regional malls. In addition, Cousins has developed more than 4,000 multi-family residential units and 60-plus single-family subdivisions ranging in size from 100 acres to 2,000 acres.
