About Us
A Vested Interest in the Tenants & Communities we Serve
The Brody family is a third-generation retailer, leveraging our firsthand experience to craft spaces that both meet the needs of the business community and patrons alike. Expanding beyond the retail sphere, BrodyCo has applied its creativity and customer-first methodology to mixed-uses within the residential, office, medical, and industrial arenas. For more than 25 years, our willingness to think outside of the box has become the bedrock for our success.
While we no longer run department stores, we continue to hold strong to our roots. This frames the foundation for the mission of our everyday work:
We strive every day to serve the customer and communities we are a part of through the creative development and thoughtful management of first-class properties that are innovative, safe, clean, and enjoyable for all.
We retain ownership of our projects for the long term, building a vested interest in the community and the tenants we serve. From new build projects to the re-development of older properties, the BrodyCo team has constructed and revitalized approximately 3 million-square-feet of commercial property, much of which we continue to own. BrodyCo manages construction, leasing, and facilities maintenance in-house, which gives us a unique perspective in the projects we undertake.
A strong past and a firm hold on the future built by long-ago tenets that still ring true — BrodyCo endeavors to follow the principles and qualities that shaped the beginnings of Brody Brothers Dry Goods, a retail business that takes the family back generations. We continue to be forward-thinking but know that the old-fashioned values of integrity, accountability, and professionalism will always guide our family company.
