Carter is a privately held commercial real estate investment, development and advisory firm, headquartered in Atlanta.
In 1958, Frank Carter and Ewell Pope started the company as Pope & Carter. The company entered the development business in 1964 and built Greenbriar Mall, Atlanta’s first enclosed mall. Current Chairman and CEO Bob Peterson joined Carter in 2002 and launched the first of the opportunistic Carter Real Estate Funds. Carter formed Carter Validus Mission Critical REIT in 2010 to acquire healthcare and data center properties.
In September 2011, Carter sold its brokerage and property management divisions to Cassidy Turley. The company rebranded and narrowed its focus on being an investment, development and advisory firm in September 2012. The firm currently serves as master developer of The Banks, a $600 million mixed-use community in downtown Cincinnati.
