About Company
Founded in 1963 by the late Robert Lay Grubb, Jr., the company and its affiliates began developing hundreds of single-family homes and apartment homes in Davidson County, N.C. By the late 1970s, the company was acquiring and operating larger multifamily communities. In the 1980s, the company increased its acquisition program and pioneered the conversion of apartments to condominiums for sale to investors. By the 1990s, the company had begun another aggressive acquisition program, which included approximately 2,000 apartment homes and 700,000 square feet of office space. In 2016, Link Apartments became the company’s primary growth strategy, focusing on the creation of urban, value-based apartments when America is facing its greatest housing affordability crisis. Grubb Properties is today a vertically integrated real estate operating company owned by its employees and board members, with offices in Charlotte, Cary, and Winston-Salem, N.C., and Atlanta, Ga.
