Its core activities encompass full-service property leasing, asset management and construction oversight, serving a diverse mix of corporate and institutional tenants. Founded in 1958 as a privately held real estate concern, Cousins Properties completed its initial public offering in 1992. Over the decades, the firm has built a reputation for large-scale office towers, multi-family residential communities and mixed-use districts that integrate Class A office space with retail, hospitality and recreational amenities.
