The story of Edwards Realty Company is one of growth, creativity and innovation in the commercial and retail real estate industry. In many ways, the company’s roots have led Edwards Realty Company to where it is today: a leading developer of suburban downtowns in key Midwest markets.

The obsolescence of so many suburban office buildings, along with the tremendous demand for old industrial loft-style spaces, has made adaptive reuse a hot topic among commercial real estate professionals.
